What are the best brands of coffee beans to use with this machine? Some reviews say its fussy with oily beans...

We bought our first Gaggia Brera in 2014. It was perfect for 5 years. We had no issues with grinding, and after much daily use, the machine wore out, and we purchased a new one in 2019. YIKES! The amount of money that we have wasted on beans is insane. Unfortunately, the grinder will grind up a full shot of beans and then reject them, so each time this happens, money is dumped out. Much worse, to buy such an expensive machine and then be forced into only very particular brands of coffee is unfair to the consumer. We love a number of independent roasters, and this machine's grinder sensor will accept one bag of beans and reject the next of the exact same brand. We did some research and found that most Italian companies are using the same sensors on their grinders, so this is an issue in many fully-automatics. Gaggia, I beg of you to rectify this problem. You have an excellent machine, but this one issue ruins the whole thing. We are considering junking this machine after 10 months of use. Sending it for repairs doesn't solve the sensor issue, and the repairs (even under warranty) are extremely costly because of shipping.

Can it be used in 220vat?

This machine is 1400 Watts and 120V.. Any other place it is used is a huge risk of damage for the machine along with the outlet itself.

Can I pre-grind my beans because I have Starbucks beans and they're bad for the machine right?

Yes, use the pre-grind and use bypass on machine to use the starbucks coffee.. Do not use starbucks beans in the coffee grinder..

does this make only espresso or can tall coffees be made with the machine

All I make these days are tall coffees. The amount of water is adjustable, so is the grind, so you could keep an espresso grind to make a tall cafe crema, enlarge grind to make a more traditional coffee, or do an espresso shot and use the hot water function to add water for an American. Each will taste slightly different but beat a drip maker any day
