espresso machineI recently purchased the Gaggia Syncrony Compact Espresso Machine. I love this espresso machine. It is very easy to use and it gives excellent results. I really enjoy being able to have a decaf cappo after dinner, or anytime. That is the main reason I chose this espresso machine. Being able to use pre ground in this espresso machine without having to make any major changes is wonderful. I also like that my daughter can use the hot water to make oatmeal or cocoa. It's not the instant hot water heater that I'd like to have, but it's still very handy.
