Re: Poll for adequate espresso machine "cheap"

I think the corrosion issue is blown way out of proportion on the
Gaggia unless you live in a area with water concerns. I have owned both
the Krups Gusto and the Gaggia Carrezza. There is no comparison between
the two, the gaggia is a better machine and makes better espresso. By
the way when the gusto finally died I took the machine apart and was
impressed that it had a stainless steel boiler but when I took the
boiler apart I noticed inside there was many aluminum parts, upon
further research I found out many manufactures such as saeco have part
aluminum boilers even though they advertise it has a stainless steel one
