Yes, I did state affordable but let's put this into perspectives. I'm coming to the Anima from a Gaggia Titanium which I purchased here on Amazon in 2005 and at the time, paid $1499. I loved it and made over 25,000 cups until last month when the water pump finally died. I was told by Gaggia it would be too expensive to ship and fix and that the Anima was the 'replacement'. So at more than half the price of the Titanium, and considering what other super automatics can cost, I found this unit 'affordable'.
It makes superb coffee, perhaps better than the Titanium. There are mostly pro's, a few con's in comparing the two. I talked about price. Further:
1. Quality of the coffee. I think this unit grinds and thus produces a better, stronger cup. I've played with the various controls and nailed how I like the coffee. The quality is outstanding (see below, comparison to French Press and Chemix).
2. The unit appears to hold a bit more coffee beans and the same amount of water as the Titanium.
3. The coffee dispensing spout has a wider range than the Titanium and allows very tall mugs which is a major plus for those of us wanting coffee.
4. The control panel is icon based and attractive. It's a bit more descriptive.
5. The unit is smaller in footprint than the Titanium. It doesn't swivel on it's base which I could care less about.
6. The unit has a more robust "reactivation" (energy saving) mode which is programmable by time. When the unit first wakes up and cleans itself, it uses far less water than the Titanium which makes the water in the tank go longer between refill.
7. Once you set the desired amount of product with one push of the button, two pushes produces twice as much like the Titanium. I like the progress dialog on the LCD letting you know how much longer the process should take. More about this in #2 below.
Possible cons:
1. Build quality isn't close to the Titanium**, but with careful use, I don't think that's going to be a factor. The Titanium was solid with lots of 'metal' while the Anima has a lot of (what some might call) flimsily plastic instead. And that's what one would expect at half the price. I believe if a user is careful with the parts that need to be removed, cleaned and handled, this will not be an issue.
2. The Titanium had three "coffee" buttons, this unit has two. Not an issue for me. Both are programmable for the amount of product and thus strength. I have one for espresso and one for 'coffee'. So you can program the amount of product to dispense and double that by clicking on one of the two buttons twice. Titanium also had a cup warmer I never used; not necessary IMHO.
3. Seems to require a bit more maintenance. One has to 'oil' the brew unit occasionally and once a month, it's recommended it be 'cleaned' with a Gaggia tablet. That wasn't the case with the Titanium. I don't know yet if this will be a factor. Both units need occasionally to have a descaling.
4. This unit is a bit slower in dispensing the coffee perhaps due to the strength of the pump or, it just has to do this to make a better, stronger cup of coffee. Hardly a con but I wanted to mention you'll wait a bit longer for one 'round' than with a Titanium. Both produced lovely creama.
5. To alter the grind with the supplied tool, you're told to start the process of making a cup of coffee and turn the dial while grinding. That's not possible as when the door to the coffee beans is open, the unit stops so I can't figure out how to follow the instructions. None the less, I was able to carefully turn the dial to the desired grind and now it's perfect.
All in all, I'm very happy with the unit after a few weeks of use. I miss (and loved) my dear Titanium but I'm very happy with this unit. I hope I'm lucky enough to brew 25K cups of coffee and get 13 years out of this unit. There doesn't appear to be a number of coffees produced menu option but that's not a big deal.
When my Titanium died and while waiting for this unit, I went back to a French Press and a Chemix (my backups) and it only took a few days to want my super automatic back. Grinding the coffee, boiling the water (to ideal temp) and clean up was a major hassle compared to having a super auto. Push one button, you get a superb cup of coffee. And I really prefer the taste of the coffee from the Anima from either backup method. So if you've never had a super automatic, go for it. If you think it's too expensive, you can spend a LOT more.

About Gaggia
With humble beginnings as a cafe owner in Milan, Achille Gaggia's ingenuity and passion for coffee inspired him to invent a new way to brew espresso without the use of steam. That vision led to the creation of the Lampo device which produced the characteristic crema which has since become the hallmark of quality espresso.

Fast shipping, delicious coffee, easy to use and clean with an attractive price!
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2020
I've owned this product for about a week and a half purchased it after watching lots of review videos online. Really wanted the Cardona but it's just too pricey for me at this time. After doing some research I figured out that this machine the Anima and the Cardona basically have the same Brew group. This is mostly an entry level espresso machine one touch and you have expresso it grinds and it brews fast, adjustable strength and adjustable temperature. So far I'm very happy with this and I'm just very concerned that I might not go back to the coffee shop again! this machine makes it so easy to go in these stores that sell coffee beans and pick up a new blend a new flavor just to take it home and try it out it's kind of addicting to be honest with you but it's still a lot less expensive than any pod-based machine plus well the grounds are recyclable. I did buy the extended warranty as well which I think is a good move. I don't think you can go wrong on this machine for the price again I would have liked the more expensive version, the Cardona, because it has one touch settings for coffee drinks like Americano which I usually drink they even higher versions of this one and the Cardona have one touch settings for frothing milk and making coffee so you don't have to do anything manually except for touch a button they're a lot more expensive but if I could have afforded them I would have gotten it it's that good! The picture that I have put in this review is of a cappuccino that I made and drank while I was writing this and it tasted so delicious and I'm sitting here looking at it and it still got froth!!
