I'm currently on the fence about buying a Gaggia Brera. I like that the unit is shorter than most super autos, water & coffee grounds are accessed from the front, simple to use, and uses a wand instead of a milk system which requires cleaning.

Reading Amazon reviews, I can see a regular complaint is that it leaks water all over the counter. Does anyone here have a Brera that doesn't leak? Not sure if I'm just seeing all the minority of complaints.

If anyone knows of a better super automatic that isn't too tall (have restricted space over counter) and has a milk wand, I'd love to hear about it. I've looked at Jura, etc - nice machines, but they are all too bulky, or missing wands.
