Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Gaggia 90851 Platinum Swing Automatic Espresso Machine with Milk Island, Silver and Black
Customer Review: Looks Good on Paper
Summary: 3 Stars
I had a problem with the first machine I received. It didn't work, and had to go back. The second machine worked but then gave me false error messages along the way. I sent that one back as well.
The machine looks better in the picture, but when you get it out of the box, it's made almost entirely of plastic. Although there are settings to change the way it makes your coffee, I found all of them to do very little with the final cup. I came away thinking it was too much money for an automated machine that could break very easily. The coffee itself was fine, and the frothing was average (the Milk Island was a total waste of time- if you can't hold up a pitcher to the steam nozzle, why bother having a cappuccino machine?)
Don't buy an automatic espresso machine. Too much to go wrong for a very average cup of Joe. Do a little work with a semi-automatic and you'll be much happier.

The Gaggia Platinum Swing uses a sleek, modern design (including a digital LCD screen and backlit touch ring controls) to achieve sophisticated, traditional brewing ? a true unity of the past and future of espresso. For excellent heat retention, and to assure Rapid Steam function, the Platinum Swing features a stainless steel lined boiler. Each crema-topped shot of espresso is customizable to your preferences, as you can adjust the dosage from 7 to 10-1/2 grams of espresso per shot, adjust grind fineness to coarse, medium or fine, turn pre-infusion on or off, and more. The Pannarello steam wand ensures effortless frothing and steaming for thick cappuccinos and lattes, and the commercial-quality burr grinder crushes beans evenly and consistently to your preferred level of fineness. For those days when you have company over, amaze them with the Milk Island! Just attach it to the machine, fill it with milk and let them watch as it steams and froths their milk all by itself! The Gaggia Platinum Swing creates a coffee bar in your kitchen, a perfect addition for the home barista.Espresso Machines
