GAGGIA cubika vs baby vs evolution? What's your recommendation for great coffee?!

[Lizzer]

For dp's 30th birthday - the baby is THE most expensive I can go (ie £200, and would prefer cheaper)

Read reviews online but they are so wide ranging and I question online reviews cos I imagine the people who take time to write them have had a problem with the product and want to give the worst case scenario!

Think the evolution looks a bit cheap and plastic and the cubika is more his style (ie industrial) but it is any good? And is the baby worth the extra money??

Any help greatly received

i got the baby for dp's 40th. it was reduced & i paid £150ish i think. it's fab (though ours is gunged up by hard water & i need to work out how to clean it). my parents have the cubika & it isn't nearly as good.

Ooo, thanks hoxtonchick - I really needed a comparison. Did you get the baby online or in a shop? Most are retailing at £219, fgs!!!

it was house of fraser at bluewater. £219 is taking the piss i think.

Thanks HC, live a million miles away but this morning I'm going to trawl the internet for a cheaper one.....here's hoping
