Editorial note

The Gaggia RI8157 coffee machine stands out for its intuitive user experience thanks to its built-in screen and button controls, making it easier to prepare your favorite drinks. With a maximum pressure of 15 bars, it guarantees a rich-flavored espresso, although the lack of an integrated grinder may limit the freshness of the coffee, as it requires the use of ground coffee or capsules. Its stainless steel design adds a modern and elegant touch to your kitchen. However, its weight of 7300 g can pose mobility issues, making it difficult to move. Additionally, while its removable 1.6 L water tank is convenient, it may require frequent refills for users preparing multiple cups at once. The Gaggia RI8157 offers several interesting features, such as the ability to make creamy cappuccinos and a cup warming system. However, the button control system may seem less intuitive for some, especially compared to modern touch interfaces. In terms of value for money, its cost can be relatively high compared to other machines on the market, which may deter some buyers. Finally, the 51-page user manual provides clear instructions, making it easy to get started with the machine, and the documentation is comprehensive and helpful, offering good support to users to maximize their experience.
