I've had the TITANIUM for six months now. At first I found that single dose was weak, but now I just use double dose (I like strong coffee) At about 800 doses the unit started to leak (I can live with that), At about 1000 doses the brew unit seized mid way in "eject the puck mode". Alas my unit is now in the hands of gaggia authorized repairer to fix the leak and unseize the unit and has been there for a month awaiting for a replacement part. Apart from that I'm quite happy with the performance of the unit. Anyone else had a similar problem? (Lucky I've got another machine which I can fix my fix!!!) :-D :-D :-D
