Selling a vintage Gaggia Syncrony Digital superautomatic espresso machine SUP015ST. This is the "OG" of Gaggia automatics—the first digital model they released in 1999, known for being built like a tank compared to modern plastic appliances. This one was made in September of 2005

Condition: It is fully functional and making great coffee. I have recently performed a full service on it to ensure it runs smoothly for the next owner:
* Cleaned & Descaled
* Brew Group Cleaned and Lubricated
Features:
Built-in Conical Burr Grinder: Adjustable grind settings for dialing in your beans.
Digital Programmability: You can program the exact parameters for your espresso shots or just use the handy default buttons.
Bypass Doser: A dedicated chute for pre-ground coffee (perfect for that occasional decaf guest).
Active Cup Warmer: Top surface is actively heated to warm cups (you can turn this off)
Steaming: Steam wand for cappuccinos and lattes. Has Gaggia's panarello steam wand which makes amazing foam, or you can remove the panarello attachment for a conventional steam wand.
Dual Spout: Adjustable height to fit different mug sizes and brew two cups at once.
Size: It's not a exact rectangle, but it is about 15" wide, 15.5" tall and about 17" deep.
Power: This runs on regular US 120V and is rated at 1250W.
Flaws: The machine has one known flaw: after it has been left on for a while and gets hot, the LCD screen tends to get dim. It’s likely a heat-related component issue but it doesn't disappear entirely and you can still make coffee. It does not affect the brewing, grinding, or mechanical operation, but the display can be faint until the machine cools down.
It is a great price for real Gaggia quality espresso at home. If you search online you can still find this model for $900 to $1050
Cash please.
