Review on Gaggia RI8260 47 Velasca Espresso by Joe Merculief

Return Anima for it as it has front water loading and washing removal. Simplified loading of the beans and more options in the grinder. The water pan is smaller but easier to empty compared to the Anima, which has a bin attached for washing machine removal. It has a small area for cups at the top. The same brewing unit, so that all dialing attempts were not in vain. A filter was included and as it's from Whole Latta it comes with an automatic 2 year guarantee. I almost kept the anima but the return was completed the same day this arrived. West Coast distribution by Whole Latta made this very quick. Tons of videos of a whole latte and gaggia nailed the deal for me. Espresso is probably better than a store that roasts its own beans on a weekly basis. I'll do a few more comparisons to check. They also sent him a bottle of cleaning supplies.
