The good: Smaller space requirement, great ceramic grinder, many options to choose from for making a desired robust cup of coffee, low noise grinding, modern design, smartly designed aqueduct water collection tray located at the bottom of the machine, many brewing options on the digital menu to choose from (digital menu options), small pull of platform to elevate coffee cup for pour collection, two smooth spout coffee dispensers, easily removable motor for cleaning, smaller bean reservoir allows resupply of fresh beans, before and after auto-rinse prolongs the life of coffee maker, automatic messaging for descaling and cleaning; The not so good: Plastic coffee dome inside the bean reservoir avoids coffee beans to pass through (to the ceramic grinder) at times making the machine grind half the way, stop, and message refill coffee bean reservoir (wastes coffee), coffee pucks messaging messages full when the tank for coffee pucks (waste and brewed coffee) is not full, and no metal side walls. No means of messaging the user before brewing button is pressed that the coffee maker may contain too many coffee pucks or be short on water - message appears half way through brewing that water reservoir is low and brewing is left incomplete in one's cup! Description: We used a Gaggia coffee maker for thirteen years before it developed leaks, motor problems, etc. The machine was a Platinum Vision, well made and we enjoyed the coffee for many years. We could not repair the machine because Gaggia communicated they no longer manufactured the motor type and also could not refer us to a dealership in the U.S. for repairs. We recommend this machine, whether you are a coffee aficionado or enjoy a great cup of coffee. Should you maintain this coffee maker well, the unit should serve you well for many years, producing just as a great cup of coffee as compared to what you may receive in a coffee shop. The Cardona Milk is a great machine overall, whether you are a pro coffee enthusiasts, or enjoy a quality brewed white-top at home, and prefer not to regularly spend a considerable part of your budget on coffee served in the retail coffee shops. The Gaggia Cardona Milk is also a great machine to start enjoying pro-quality coffee at home, with a one touch command using its electronic display. Should you have a need for a higher capacity machine, then the prices will drastically increase, although I still believe that over all, these machines are priced too high. In the order of preference, value, I suggest Gaggia (Italy), Jura (Switzerland - quite expensive), and finally some of the German manufacturers, such as Krups. My suggestions for other machines would take you to review videos on YouTube, and preferably purchase the machine from Amazon (for now). I am updating my review on this date (27 March 2027). Speaking with customer service of Gaggia service outfit in N.Y. did not make a realistic solution available to coffee bean starvation during the brew cycle. Because of their liability, they tried to stir me in directions not practical to resolve the coffee bean starvation issue during the brew cycle. The real solution to the problems I'd discussed was to remove the plastic dome, used to sift coffee beans for them to reach the grinder. That is where the Italian designers failed. Not enough tests to reach a conclusion that such a design could result in coffee bean starvation during the brew cycle and therefore a considerable waste of coffee. If you have children and concerned, I would recommend you purchasing another manufacturer as mentioned above. Otherwise, remove the plastic dome inside the coffee bean chamber.

Dopo qualche mese di utilizzo posso dire di essere soddisfatta. Ha molte regolazioniche rendono il caffè estremamente personalizzabile:- fino 5 chicchi di caffè per scegliere l'intensità cioe la quantità di caffè da macinare- diversi tipologie di caffè ognuna con lunghezze già preimpostate ma che si possono a loro volta modificare a piacimento in più o in meno (da 20 ml fino 150 ml)- scomparto per caffè macinato (che di solito uso per il decaffeinato)- si possono memorizzare le impostazioni in modo da non dover ripetere ogni volta le regolazioni (fino a 12 mi sembra)Molto utile il filtro che consiglio vivamente di installare in quanto permette di usare la normale acqua di rubinetto senza alterare il sapore del caffè. In alternativa si può usare acqua di bottiglia ma è alquanto dispendioso poiché la macchina usa tanta acqua (ogni tanto fa anche il lavaggio dei circuiti per cui ne consuma parecchia)Il lavaggio si può comunque fermare premendo il tasto start/stop ma non lo consiglio perché è meglio tenere la macchina pulita.Un po' impegnativa la manutenzione ma niente di impossibile.Va svuotato spesso il cassetto sotto che si riempie di acqua di lavaggio dei circuiti, il cassetto dei fondi, e ogni tanto va pulito bene anche il pezzo estraibile a lato.Però il caffè è ottimo e sinceramente non tornerei piu indietro.In passato ne ho provate tante , con la moka, con la macchina a capsule, con nespresso , con 2 tipi di lavazza... ma questa è decisamente la macchina che preferisco.

Cette machine est très complète, elle permet de faire n'importe quelle café pour tous les goûts.Avec les favoris, on retrouve ses boissons préférées de l'espresso à l'Americano en un clin d'oeil. Un peu compliquée à apprivoiser au début, on s'y fait très vite.J'ai pris cette Gaggia Cadorna car on a exactement le même appareil que des Saeco/Philips hauts de gamme mais pour bien moins cher. Les Gaggia ont moins la côte que d'autres marques comme Delonghi en France et c'est bien dommage, En Italie, on les connait bien!Si vous la prenez en Warehouse comme moi, alors là c'est le jackpot qualité/prix!

Und Überalles hergestellt in Italien !

Two years into use, it was out of service for a whole year because the display got damaged. We replaced the part, and now the milk function doesn't work, the cover that hides the water storage easily falls off. Honestly, for the price, the materials are of low quality, and it's a machine with a lifespan of less than a year.
