Important to know

  1. The taste of your coffee depends on the characteristics of the beans from which it is made, the type of bean, where it was grown and processed. The coffee beans that are roasted for a longer period of time and at higher temperatures will be much darker in colour. Darker beans will produce a richer cup of coffee than the lightly-roasted beans.
  2. A variety of dark roasts are available from which you can choose to brew your espresso. Each of these roasts is a blend of coffee beans that are roasted at a specific temperature producing a specific type of flavour.
    There are decaffeinated beans that have up to 98% of the caffeine content removed.
    The next time you purchase coffee for your espresso maker, experiment with one of the many kinds of coffee being sold. You may just find that it tastes better than the blend you have been using.
  3. A fine "espresso grind" for pump-driven machines must be used. Be sure to ask for this when buying coffee or when having beans ground. Do not use a blade-type grinder because it makes too much coffee dust and produces an irregular grind.
  4. The mark of real espresso is its dark color, rich taste and the light brown, natural froth called "crema" in Italian.
  5. Cappuccino is simply a combination of espresso and hot, frothy milk. Cappuccino is usually topped with cinnamon, nutmeg or cocoa powder.
  6. Espresso Coffee should be served immediately after it is made.
  7. Espresso is served in 2 to 2 ½ oz. demitasse cups. A 4 or 6 oz. cup or glass is used for cappuccino
  8. Ideally, coffee beans should be ground immediately before using. Remember, it must be an "espresso grind" for pump-driven espresso machines.
  9. It's best to store ground coffee or beans in an airtight container in the freezer of your refrigerator. Ground coffee tends to absorb food odours.

GAGGIA RI9403 - Important to know - 1

Warning! Never brew coffee when the steam function is on, as the temperature is too high and there is a risk of burns.

ENGLISH

How to make a good Espresso coffee:

1 Follow the procedure described under "Preparation".

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the frothing jet device (14) is not inserted, the filter holder does not brew coffee correctly. For this reason, make sure that the device is always inserted in the filter holder before placing the Perfect crema filter.

Insert the "Perfect crema" filter for ground coffee (12) into the filter holder, both for brewing 1 or 2 coffee cups. Insert the filter holder (10) into the brew unit from the bottom and wait for it to heat up.

2 Place a container under the filter holder (10). Preheat the filter holder by pressing the hot water/coffee button (2) (this is only required for the first coffee).

Water will start coming out.

3 After having dispensed 150cc of water, press the hot water/coffee button (2) again.

4 Wait until the machine has reached the correct temperature with filter holder inserted (the heating time lasts a few minutes). Use this time to set table, prepare cups, coffee, milk, etc.

5 After the warm-up period, remove the warm filter-holder (10) from the brewing head and fill with correctly ground espresso coffee using the measuring spoon provided.

Place one level measure of coffee in basket for each cup of espresso.

Do not overfill.

Gently tamp down coffee with the tamper (15) provided. Do not compress too firmly.

6 Clean any excess coffee from the rim of filter holder (10). Insert filter holder into brew head by holding handle approximately 45 degrees to the left as you face machine.

When properly aligned, move handle firmly to the right to lock into position. The handle should point to the front of the machine or slightly to the right.

7 Place one or two espresso cups on the drip plate to line up with the spouts of the filter holder. Press the hot water/coffee button.

Espresso will start to flow into cups.

8 When the cups are 3/4 full, press the hot water/coffee button.

The more water you allow to flow, the weaker the coffee. When properly made, the espresso will have a light brown foam "crema" floating on the top.

If not, refer to "In the event of faulty function".

9 Remove cups and serve.

10 To make more espresso, carefully and slowly remove the filter holder by moving handle to the left. Be careful as hot water will be on top of the coffee grinds in the holder. Some water will continue to drip from brewing head as filter holder is removed. That is normal and due to the pump pressure in the system. Knock out used coffee grinds from filter. For more espresso repeat steps 5 to 9 above.

Using Coffee Pods

To use coffee pods, remember to only use the "Perfect crema" pod filter (11).

Note: If present, remove the "Perfect crema" filter for ground coffee (11).

1 Follow the procedure described under "Preparation".

2 Insert the "perfect cream" filter for pods (11).

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the frothing jet device (14) is not inserted, the filter holder does not brew coffee correctly. For this reason, make sure that the device is always inserted in the filter holder before placing the Perfect crema filter.

3 Insert the filter holder (10) into the brew unit from the bottom and wait for it to heat up.

4 Place a container under the filter holder (10). Preheat the filter holder by pressing the hot water/coffee button (this is only required for the first coffee).

Water will start coming out.

5 After having dispensed 150cc of water, press the hot water/coffee button again.

6 After the warm-up, remove the filter holder (10) and insert the pod. Make sure the paper of the pod does not overhang the filter holder.

7 Insert the filter holder into the machine with a 45irc movement towards the left.

8 Rotate it to the right to tighten it into position. The filter holder handle shall be perpendicular to the machine or slightly tilted towards the right.

9 Place a cup under the filter holder. Press the hot water/coffee button.

Coffee will start coming out.

10 When the cup is 3/4 full, press the hot water/coffee button again. Remove the cup and serve.

11 To brew more coffee, slowly remove the filter holder with caution, moving it towards the left.

Make sure not to get burnt with water from coffee grounds. Once the filter holder has been removed, some water will still drop.

This is due to the water pressure in the system. Remove the coffee grounds from the filter. To brew more coffee, repeat the procedure from step 6 to 10.

Important note: Filters should be kept clean to guarantee perfect results. Clean daily after use.

If you experience a malfunction in the coffee brewing process, leave the Filters in a metal container of hot boiling water for 10 minutes, then rinse them in running water and perform another brewing.

For a deeper cleaning of the filters, we recommend using the cleaning tablets specifically designed to maintain the efficiency of the machine.

When preparing to make a cappuccino, have all of the ingredients at hand as well as a frothing pitcher (or mug) halffilled with skimmed or low-fat milk and cups that are larger (6 oz.) than those used for espresso.

Frothing Milk

The density of frothed milk will depend on milk fat content. The pannarello (9) will produce all the necessary emulsion without bringing the milk to a boil.

It may require two or three attempts to "become an expert" but you will be successful at frothing milk if you give it a chance Move the pannarello slightly outward so as to insert the jug without hitting the base of the espresso machine.

Version with pannarello:

Warning! Danger of scalding! Dispensing may be preceded by small jets of hot water. The steam wand may reach high temperatures: Never touch it with bare hands.

1 Make espresso (in a large cups) as described above.
2 Press the steam button (4).

3 After 15-20 seconds, and when the LED indicating the correct temperature has been reached (3) goes on, place the half-filled jug with cold milk under the pannarello. See Fig.03.

4 Slowly turn steam valve knob (8) counter clockwise to release steam.

IMPORTANT: The more you turn the knob, the greater the steam pressure for frothing.

N.B.: Dispensing should not exceed 60 seconds.

5 Move pitcher in circular motion keeping the tip of steam nozzle just under surface of milk as it begins to froth. Do not let milk come to a boil since it will not froth.
6 When you have made enough froth, turn steam knob clockwise to shut off steam and remove pitcher. Press the steam button (4).
7 Spoon the froth onto the espresso in each cup and gently pour the hot milk along the side of the cup. Garnish with cinnamon, cocoa or nutmeg. Serve.
8 NOTE: If you want to make more espresso immediately after steaming milk, the machine boiler must be refilled with water and temperature brought down to a brewing temperature. Otherwise, espresso may taste "burned".

GAGGIA RI9403 - N.B.: Dispensing should not exceed 60 seconds. - 1

Warning! If coffee is brewed without reducing the temperature through water dispensing, you may get burnt!

Place an empty cup on drip plate.

Do not insert filter holder.

Press the hot water/coffee button to fill the cup with water.

Press the hot water/coffee button again.

You many now proceed to make more espresso.

ENGLISH

Making hot water

1 Follow the procedure described under "Preparation".
2 Press the main button (1).
3 Wait a few minutes to allow the espresso machine to reach the correct temperature.
4 Place a pitcher under the steam nozzle (9).
5 Slowly turn the steam knob (8) anticlockwise so that the hot water and put the hot water/brew switches (2) and the steam switch (4) to "1" can be released.

N.B.: Dispensing should not exceed 60 seconds.

6 Once the desired quantity of hot water is obtained, turn the steam knob clockwise and put the hot water/brew switches (2) and the steam switch (4) to "0" to stop the water release.
7 NOTE: If you want to make espresso immediately after making hot water, the temperature of the machine boiler must be brought down to a brewing temperature. Otherwise, espresso may taste "burned".

To do this: place an empty cup on drip plate. Do not insert filter holder.

Press the hot water/coffee (2) and the steam (4) buttons.

Fill the cup with water. Press the hot water/coffee (2) and the steam (4) buttons again.

You may now proceed to make espresso.

Keeping it clean:

1 IMPORTANT: the steam nozzle should be cleaned after each use in order to avoid build up of milk deposits that are very difficult to clean.

As described in the "DESCRIPTION" section, cleaning is facilitated thanks to the pannarello being completely removed by pulling it down.

The outer part of nozzle can be removed by pulling downward.

The outside of the steam pipe can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

The steam jet is cleaned by running a shot of steam through it.

The hole in the steam nozzle must be kept open. A needle may be used.

Be very careful not to touch the steam wand: could be hot! Air intake to be kept clean and free from residues.

2 Clean filter holder and filter in warm water after use.
3 Wipe body of machine with a damp cloth as required.
