At a glance

The Gaggia Brera is a compact bean-to-cup espresso machine with a ceramic grinder, one-touch espresso and lungo buttons and a manual Pannarello steam wand. Owners mostly praise the coffee, simple controls, small footprint and removable brew group. Common drawbacks are the small 1.2 litre tank, frequent tray and bin emptying, limited drink options with a weak lungo, a noisy grinder and a partly plastic build. Some owners report leaks or breakdowns while others report many years of use, so long-term durability evidence is mixed. Philips UK lists it as discontinued, and it is sold mainly via Amazon marketplace and coffee specialists, so check the plug, colour code and warranty before buying. It suits espresso drinkers with limited space, not those wanting one-touch milk drinks or large mugs.

Strengths

  • Coffee quality is consistently praised: rich espresso with crema from freshly ground beans.
  • Compact footprint (about 26 cm wide), with tank and grounds bin accessible from the front.
  • Simple one-touch controls and a removable brew group that rinses under the tap.
Show all (4)
  • Steam wand froths milk quickly for cappuccinos and lattes, and a pre-ground coffee bypass is available.

Things to consider

  • Small 1.2 litre water tank; drip tray and grounds bin need frequent emptying.
  • Limited customisation: only espresso and lungo, three strengths and five grind settings. The lungo can taste weak.
  • Plastic sides and top, a noisy grinder, and manual descaling.
Show all (5)
  • Some owners report leaks or breakdowns within a few years.
  • Discontinued at Philips UK and not sold by Argos or John Lewis. Some UK buyers received units with an EU plug.
Who is it for, and who is it not for?

Good for

  • Espresso and Americano drinkers who want fresh-bean coffee at the touch of a button in a small kitchen.
  • People happy to froth milk manually with a steam wand.

May not suit

  • Households that drink many large mugs a day and don't want frequent refills and emptying.
  • Buyers who want one-touch cappuccinos or many drink and size options.
  • Buyers who want to buy from a mainstream high-street retailer such as Argos or John Lewis.

Reliability

A minority of owners report faults: internal leaks, short-circuiting, repeated breakdowns and warning-light lock-ups, some within the first few years. Others report a previous Brera lasting 15 years. Store reviews cannot establish a failure rate.

User experience · See source

Independent test

Expert Reviews' 2013 test measured espresso at 64 °C. It found the machine flushes on start-up, so a waste mug is needed, and that there is little room under the spout for large cups. Its verdict was 'a good buy' for convenience but short of the best manual machines for espresso.

Manufacturer features

Gaggia claims a durable ceramic grinder adjustable from coarse to fine, a ground-coffee compartment for a different blend, and programmable dispensing buttons.

Go to the original reviews

Owners mostly like the Brera for its coffee: rich espresso with crema from fresh beans, made with a single button, plus a steam wand that froths milk quickly. Many also value its compact footprint and simple controls. The most frequent complaint is the small water tank, along with a drip tray and grounds bin that need frequent emptying. Owners who want longer drinks find the options limited (espresso or lungo only, five grind settings) and the lungo weak. Other negatives are a noisy grinder, a plastic build that feels 'built to a price', manual descaling and some daily cleaning. A minority describe leaks or breakdowns within a few years, while others report many years of service. Several UK buyers received machines with a European plug.

  1. E*** S*** 5/5 6 September 2026 Amazon Style Name: Brera Silver

    Absolutely love this coffee machine I bought as birthday gift to self So glad I did makes coffee bean to cup how I like it perfect could not be happier

  2. M*** A*** C*** 5/5 8 August 2026 Amazon Style Name: Brera Silver

    Easy to use, one button, and makes great hot coffees. It’s all automatic from beans to cup, and quicker than the kettle. It will make about 3 mugs before you need to refill the water. The drink size is programmable. … It makes a grinding noise preparing the beans. The rest of the time it is silent, except when it briefly cleans itself, to switch to standby. The outside is brushed stainless steel, plastic inside.

  3. K*** 1/5 17 February 2019 Amazon Style Name: Brera Silver

    I had a Gaggia Syncrony … had it about 25 years. It finally gave up and I bought this machine. Irritating is an understatement. The coffee is not as good or as strong as my old machine, there is no crème. … Its SO complicated! … At the moment it will only produce a small amount of coffee before demanding the clean programme... it then pushes out more water than it does for a cup of coffee. Then all four red warning lights come on and there is nothing in the guide about what to do if all four warning lights come on! Seriously considering throwing it away.

  4. M*** C*** 3/5 23 August 2018 Amazon Style Name: Brera Silver

    On this machine you have two sizes - espresso and lungo, which is about half a mug and which is watery and weak no matter how you set the machine. … Secondly, the build quality is okay but not by any means high end. Definitely built to a price and that price is the lower end of the market. … So, the bottom line is that this machine looks good, makes decent coffee but is inflexible to use and feels a bit low rent.

  5. S*** B*** 5/5 21 August 2013 Amazon Style Name: Brera Silver

    If you take the time to read the manual properly, it's easy to set up and makes fabulous coffee really quickly. You have to spend some time tweaking the various options (grind, strength, short/long, single/double shot) to get it just how you want it, but really the quality of the coffee is amazing! … It's not without it's quirks - the warning level for a full grounds bin is very inconsistent and it has given me a cup of hot water and thrown the ground coffee all over the place once - but I can forgive it when the coffee tastes this good. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

  6. A*** C*** 3/5 No date Amazon Featured review with images, undated

    The coffee is good BUT... - the machine came with a EU plug - the machine needs cleaning every day - the machine leaks if the drip tray is even just 1mm off - make sure it's fully pushed in Overall the experience with this machine is really not what I expected. … Now I need to clean the inside of the machine and the brew unit daily.

  7. M*** C*** J*** H*** 5/5 19 October 2015 Amazon Style Name: Brera Silver

    The steam wand is nicely situated and you can get a milk pitcher underneath it with ease. This machine steams milk to a high temperature very quickly and produces thick creamy milk - perfect for cappuccinos or lattes.

  8. R*** S*** 5/5 31 December 2014 Amazon Style Name: Brera Silver

    The machine is easy to operate, you can make a "long" or a "short" coffee that is "weak", "medium" or "strong", it rinses itself when you take it off or put it on standby, it has a wand to quickly heat milk, highly recommended affordable luxury…

  9. M*** J*** M*** 2/5 28 February 2018 Amazon Brera Black listing

    I bought Gaggia because I thought the name meant quality. After less than 3 years, this machine developed a leak inside and shorted out. It will cost roughly half the price of a new machine to get it mended. Very disappointing. My previous machine, not Gaggia, lasted for 12 years!

  10. M*** L*** W*** 1/5 19 March 2016 Amazon Brera Black listing

    Returned machine ( to Amamazon, who were extremely helpful) after it broke down twice in 6months and the 2nd time the repair company wanted £50 carriage for it to be repaired under warranty.Very disappointed after having Gaggia coffee makers for over 25 years.

  11. R*** 5/5 6 February 2015 Amazon Brera Black listing

    Awesome coffee machine. Perfect coffee every time, regardless of bean or grind. Easy to use, easy to set up and the presets are a great touch. Makes coffee as good if not better than the high street chains. Get one.

  12. A*** J*** 4/5 22 November 2015 Amazon Brera Black listing

    Great little machine. Replaced my Gaggia Platinum Vision which served well for 7 years. Hasn't got as many bells and whistles but at half the price it does everything I really need.

  13. M*** 2/5 22 January 2013 Amazon RI9833/70 Silver listing

    In theory a good machine, but 2 off them and they just didnt last. Very disappointing. Also disappointed by the small reservoir 1.5 cups and its empty. Needs the grounds tray emptied after only a few cups. Requires descaling (costly chemical) very frequently and there is no avoiding it.

  14. K*** 5/5 13 June 2022 coffeeitalia.co.uk RI9305/11 Black

    No complaints working as expected, quality (of drink) every bit as good as my gaggia classic, one little niggle reservoir on the small side but ease of filling compensates.

  15. D*** 4/5 2 February 2022 coffeeitalia.co.uk RI9305/11 Black

    …Machine is easy to use coffee is hot and steam wand good. Only downside I can see is the grind options ( only 5 ) and also got to double shot to get a nice strong cup. Would still recommend.

  16. d*** h*** o*** 3/5 18 December 2021 coffeeitalia.co.uk RI9305/11 Black

    Water tank is not large enough. coffee needs to be hotter, I have to microwave it for 20 seconds to get it to a temperature that I like…

  17. S*** 4/5 23 September 2021 coffeeitalia.co.uk RI9305/11 Black

    We’ve had this machine about 6months or so and whilst the coffee it brews is great – rich, good crema, smooth and we enjoy the various options it brings, it also appears poorly constructed. It’s broken down several times – fortunately my son has been able to fix it each time. It makes a real racket sometimes as it’s brewing – grinding and whirring at high pitch levels…

  18. M*** 4/5 30 September 2021 coffeeitalia.co.uk RI9305/11 Black

    Very happy with my new gaggia, it’s not just as big as my previous one and needs refilling more frequently because of that. It also the uses water to self clean itself, which is a great extra to have so I’d prefer a bigger water tank or direct water source to the tank without needing to refill, but they’re only small complaints and it’s such a great machine.

  19. G*** 5/5 8 June 2021 coffeeitalia.co.uk RI9305/11 Black

    …I prepared my first espresso using the factory default settings – I was very surprised by how quiet the machine is, and how much flavour it extracted. I’m very impressed. Way better than my old DeLonghi Magnifica. It is beautifully made of very high quality materials, and feels very solid. … And contrary to numerous online reports, the coffee actually comes out perfectly hot – definitely hotter than from my DeLonghi Magnifica, at highest temperature setting.

  20. B*** 4/5 15 March 2021 coffeeitalia.co.uk RI9305/11 Black

    I bought this in order to stop using plastic coffee pods. It’s great with beans, bit fiddly to get the hang of using ground coffee (when in the startup cycle to add the coffee) and cleaning it is a bit of a faff – but overall, it does exactly what I bought it for.

  21. C*** c*** 5/5 2 July 2021 coffeeitalia.co.uk RI9305/11 Black

    This is the second Gaggia Brera I’ve had….the first one lasted 15 years! I love this little machine. So clean and easy to use, makes great coffee every time, I wouldn’t be without it, nor would I even look at another brand or model. I highly recommend this machine.

  22. C*** 5/5 20 June 2020 coffeeitalia.co.uk RI9305/11 Black

    …Makes a good coffee with a range of variability. Runs cleanly with very little mess. The only downside is the size of the water tank so I can only make two big cups and a litre of hot milk per fill.

  23. O*** 4/5 23 September 2018 coffeeitalia.co.uk RI9305/11 Black

    …The only niggle I have is the frothier is set quite high so you need to hold the cup up to it to reach the milk and the water reservoir is smaller but I suppose this is to do with keeping the size of the overall machine down to a compact size.

  24. M*** 4/5 12 June 2018 coffeeitalia.co.uk RI9305/11 Black

    …The manual suggests that it will take 5 coffee’s for the machine to adapt to the coffee and grind setting, and I would say this is spot on. Shots 1 and 2 a little weak, No3 passable and number 4 was just about perfect. Milk frothing / heating had been a worry but not so. Frothed milk easily and that was using skimmed milk. Overall very pleased with the Brera.
