This is Gaggia Babila Espresso Machine, Stainless Steel
We replaced the Jura F8, which we had for just over 2 years, with this machine. The Jura E8 is the equivalent machine today. The Jura made wonderful coffee and espresso, but milk drinks were not hot enough and a pain to get working. This machine makes awesome everything. I love, love, love the steam wand. Super easy to use and gets the milk as hot as I want it. But for the days we have guests and I don’t want to stand at the counter foaming milk, we just pop in the carafe and voila. There are so many adjustments you can make and we found the right ones for the coffee we like. My only gripe about it is that when customizing drinks in the menu, liquid amounts of coffee and milk aren’t in any unit of measurement. It’s just a bar that you can move up or down (see pic). Even if I just knew that a full bar equals a certain amount, that would be helpful. Regardless, we have had the machine for a couple of weeks and we love it.
Update: We have had this for months now and we still LOVE it. We highly recommend the Italian brand Lavazza beans here on Amazon. We live in a metro area and can get them overnight so it isn’t a big deal to have them shipped. You get them in two pound bags and there are a variety of flavors. You can get VERY good espresso beans that are not oily, and therefore very suitable for any super automatic. And less expensive per Lund than the coffee shop!
