Hey there, thanks for the feedback and question. The Philips 5400 is newer and has a unique milk frother. There is no tubing for the LatteGo Philips frother allowing for extra easy cleaning and dishwasher safe. Both units are great! The Cadorna has 14 beverage options compared the the 12 on the Philips 5400. What is unique on the Philips 5400 is the 'extra shot' feature, allowing you to brew 2 shots in certain beverages for that extra kick. Thanks!
Hey there, good question. The Magnifica Evo does not have a central display screen like this model here. The central display screen is intuitive and aids in many setting adjustments and communication. The Evo has designated buttons and the manual will guide you on each button meaning for maintenance, settings, and cleaning. Thanks!
Very informative video. I have subscribed to your channel but I would suggest to improve the sound quality for your future videos (there is too much echo in the background)
Hey there, Both are great units. The Cadorna has a few more features, including 14 beverages, 4 user profiles and colour display. While the Anima Prestige has fewer beverage options, no user profiles. The Anima Prestige is a bit older of a model. The Cadorna is newer than the Anima line. Thank you.
Hello and congratulations for your nice review! I have 2 questions for you if you can help me. 1) The machine has no warning or error message if the coffee beans are finished. Is it dangerous for the burrs to run without beans or there is no problem? 2) When the machine is off the on/off button is blinking. Is there a way to stop this? Its a bit annoying especially during night. Thanks in advance.
Hey there, thanks for the questions. Please connect with a Gaggia tech regarding the empty beans question. They can guide you and troubleshoot directly with you. For your second question, on the back of the machine there should be a master power switch, you can completely turn the unit off this way. Ciao for now!
Nice review. I recently got this machine and what I am challenged with it is not matter how careful I am by ensuring all rinses are captured in a spare cup, there is water in the drip tray. Why would that happen? Is there a leak?
@@schauerm Even when you have a cup to catch the water from espresso spouts? Coz the water is in the drip tray even when I am ensuring there is a always a cup to catch the water being dispensed
@@allyirfan8663 Yes, there is water that never comes out of the spout because it gets flushed into the drip tray. I have a different machine and mine has a little tube that excess water comes out of and into the tray. Look to see if yours has something similar.
Hi HLA, Here is another demo video to get best results with automatic machines. Usually grind setting level 4 does a great job. Demo video: th-cam.com/video/CZYZG36JicQ/w-d-xo.html Other useful tips are included in that video too :) Have a great day, thanks for commenting. Cheers!

hello, thank you for this review! I hope my question will be understandable. I am blind, I wonder on the second screen about the volume intensity etc if the value reset each time I am doing an expresso as an example? Or if as an example my wife make caffee and change the intensity, the next time will it stay on my wife intensity choice? I prefer the first solution but it's often the second one for example philips machine. It will be very useful for me if you can answer this question.

I bought this machine 6 months ago already 2 times in service. The machine is loud like a tractor, and service in Ireland is charging shipping costs even if the machine is in warranty. I'm highly disappointed. Show how u take water tank off how u need to hold the machine and he careful to not break that tank taking it of us a nightmare materials are very easy to break.
Hey there, this is not common feedback we get on the units. Sorry to hear this. Please connect directly with the store you've purchased it from and directly with Gaggia warranty.
Good review but wish it wasn't sped up when brewing
Hey Kevgh, thanks for the feedback. We will pass it along to the back end team :)
Excellent content as always! How would you rate the Gaggia Cadorna Prestige versus The Phillips Lattego 5400?

Hi I’m deciding between the gaggia anime prestige vs this unit gaggia cadorna prestige. Which do you think is the better unit?

This reminds me of when "Windows" took over from DOS, on the PC. Where it took control away from the users, and did virtually "everything"...
I'm curious if your video is playing back fast because your espresso shots seem to be coming out faster than I would think they should.
Hi there,
Yes some parts of the video are faster to ensure the video is not too long.
The coffee comes out at a normal pace in real life.
Thank you.
Nice review. I recently got this machine and what I am challenged with it is not matter how careful I am by ensuring all rinses are captured in a spare cup, there is water in the drip tray. Why would that happen? Is there a leak?
Excess water is always purged into the drip tray on basically every espresso machine. This is normal.
@@schauerm Even when you have a cup to catch the water from espresso spouts? Coz the water is in the drip tray even when I am ensuring there is a always a cup to catch the water being dispensed

what grind settings do you typically use for espresso? i just bought this but my espresso didn't taste like an espresso

Here is another demo video to get best results with automatic machines. Usually grind setting level 4 does a great job.

Can we use Oat milk to make a Latte using this machine?
Yes you can use any type of milk. Old milk yields most foam, I also find soy and oat milk to froth better then types of nondairy milks.
Is the milk carafe dishwasher safe?
Hi Marijan,
Hand washing is suggested. You can confirm if it is dishwasher safe by connecting with a Gaggia Tech agent at 1888 389 4123.

I really like this machine, how loud is the grinder and milk frothing? I am looking for a quite machine.
Thanks for the help.
