I spend way too much money at the coffee shop and I want to buy a fully automatic model (which grinds the beans for you and makes your espresso with the push of a button).
I looked at several models online but there aren’t any testimonies from people who actually own these machines. Does anyone out there own a Gaggia or any similar brand they would recommend? Thanks!

If you’re looking for a lower cost, I’d suggest buying a decent burr grinder seperately. One that has a hopper and grinds at a push of the button — without holding the button down.
Here are a couple of links to check out. Krups and Gaggia both makes some good machines.

Brasil Carmo Faz Kaquend Cup Of Excellence Lot 2 Beans was used. Beans was roasted about 9 days ago. Grinder is Rocky. Fineness adjustment was 10. Tamping pressure was about 20-25 kg. Total ristretto volume was about 50 ml.
Wondering if this is pouring too quickly – espresso is tasting strange and filling too quickly.
Yesterday my Gaggia Classic began to sound different as I made my espresso shots. The sound you hear uccurs when the espresso is made ristretto style, meaning the pump gets to work a little bit harder, but
