All I want is a nice coffee!!!

[dingostema]

Hello all,

Need some advice really. Bought a Krups Novo a year ago which bizzarely I was really happy with, nice coffee with a lovely velvety thick crema. After 6 months the pump went so the shop replaced it with another, 6 months later same thing so it was replaced with a Gaggia Cubika.

This Cubika doesnt produce coffee as well as my old Krups and I just cant get a good strong coffee with a nice crema. Gaggia suggested it was my coffee (I have been using Lavazza Rosso for years) so Gaggia sent me some free Gaggia coffee to try. This improved things a little but surely this machine should work with Lavazza or Illy?

Thanks guys

David

That is odd...as much robusta as Lavazza uses it should kick out loads of crema!!!

I know, whats even stranger is that the customer services manager at Gaggia UK (he's been there 15 years) said he's never been able to get a good crema from a Gaggia!!! I just dont get it!

Can anyone advise me please, gotta make a decision with whether I keep this machine or not.

Cheers
