When I went to make a cup of coffee this morning on our trusty Gaggia Synchrony, it came out cold, and the machine was making very strange noises. After taking it apart it was fairly clear that a new machine was needed, so we started looking for one, and ended up with the Gaggia Xtwo, which was bought a a serious discount from a local branch of Whittards:

And I am happy to report that it makes very good coffee, and to my wife's great delight it actually makes a mean cup of cappuccino!
