The Gaggia's on hold...

Good point, that is quite a journey, probably preheated somehow. I'd like to believe the only thing you need to worry is filling the bean hopper but I've never met a fully auto that didn't require a maintenance and cleaning schedule.
 
My first thoughts were: how much extra liquid (coffee and/or milk) do you need to fill the tubes in the gooseneck? Like, making two espressos and getting one ristretto? The cooling of the liquids can be eliminated with proper plastic tubing I just can't get through this thought of liquid loss in the gooseneck...
