Then just make sure the dreg drawer is pushed in and the drip tray is in place, and turn the machine on. Replacement will be offered at Recent Beans' discretion and the warranty will continue from the date of original purchase. Stiff Grind Adjustment: Again, you probably won't be changing the grind size often, but when you do it does require a bit of effort to adjust. Because the glass cup has a handle, it's just the right size with the cups I use, to allow the espresso to be warmed by the water without it dropping too far into the cup.

It's very simple to use, and the tactile buttons make it a great machine for anyone who doesn't have perfect vision as I've mentioned.

If you opt for a third-party courier, remember to fully insure the machine to its value as you will be responsible for any potential transit damage or loss. It's not got a great range of grind settings, just 5 as with the Brera, but as I said at the beginning of this review, most bean to cup users aren't as concerned with dialing in perfectly.Emptying The Drip Tray: Partly due to this initial prime, the drip tray does tend to fill up relative quickly, and you do need to empty it before it properly fills up or it's a pain to empty. The stainless steel frontal panel, inspired by Italian design and craftsmanship, makes Brera perfect for both traditional and modern kitchens. This is probably the reason bean to cup machines are so popular in some countries such as (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). It's true to say that some other bean to cup machines share some of the pros of the Brera, but there aren't many that share all of these pros. There are two types of home baristas when it comes to espresso, the bean to cup user and the semi auto espresso machine user.

The steam isn't quite as quick to get going as with the anima, but there's plenty of steam power once it's going. The Gaggia Brera Silver is a compact bean-to-cup espresso machine in a stylish, modern design, which is simple to use and allows easy access to the water tank and coffee ground waste.

The only other thing is the steam/water dial, and that's really obvious too – you turn it towards the water icon for water (the teacup) and towards the steam icon for steam. This wouldn't usually be a massive issue, you can just run white uncooked rice, Puly Grinder cleaner, or Urnex Grinds tablets through them – but not with bean to cup machines, because the rice or the cleaning tablets will end up in the brewing unit, which could break it. When done, purging the wand I got into the routine of pressing the aroma/strength button to turn off the steam, followed by the hot water button to purge the wand, followed by the aroma/strength button again to turn off the hot water. I didn't read the instructions before use with regard to one very basic yet important function, stopping the steam.The Brera is one of Gaggia's “old school” bean to cup coffee machines, it's been one of the best sellers since its release in 2010 and it remains one of the best selling bean to cup machines in their range, and one of the best selling bean to cup coffee machines in the UK. Thanks to its special lid, the coffee bean container of “Anima Prestige” preserves the aroma of your coffee.
