Frequently Asked Questions - Gran Style RI8423 GAGGIA

How to adjust the grind on the Gaggia Gran Style RI8423?

Turn the grind adjustment knob located inside the bean container. Use a finer setting for a stronger espresso, coarser for a milder coffee. Adjust in increments and brew a cup to test.

How to maintain the milk carafe?

After each use, rinse the milk carafe with warm water. Wash it regularly in the dishwasher (top rack) or by hand. Use the automatic cleaning program for the internal circuits.

What to do if the machine no longer heats up?

Check that the machine is turned on and the water tank is filled. If the problem persists, perform a descaling. If the error continues, contact Gaggia after-sales service.

How to descale the Gaggia Gran Style RI8423?

Use a descaling product compatible with Gaggia. Follow the integrated descaling program: empty the tank, pour the descaler, then water, and start the cycle. Rinse thoroughly afterwards.

Why is my coffee too cold?

Increase the water temperature via the adjustment menu. Preheat the cup by rinsing it with hot water. Make sure the machine is properly preheated (wait a few minutes after turning on).

How to clean the grinder?

The grinder cleans itself automatically. Use grinder cleaning tablets. Run the specific cleaning cycle. Never use water directly on the grinder.

What does the message 'Fill tank' mean?

The water level is insufficient. Fill the water tank to the MAX mark. If the message persists, check the water level sensor and clean it if necessary.

Can I use ground coffee instead of beans?

Yes, the machine has a compartment for ground coffee. Use one dose of ground coffee (about one scoop) and select the appropriate mode. Do not mix beans and ground.

How to adjust the coffee length?

During brewing, press the size button to adjust the amount. You can also save your settings via the menu. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.

The machine makes abnormal noise, what to do?

6 TIPS FOR CHOOSING COFFEE

As a general rule, any type of coffee available on the market can be used.

However, coff ee is a natural product and its fl avour changes according to its origin and blend; it is therefore a good idea to try different types of coff ee in order to find the most suited to your personal taste.

For optimal results, we recommend using espresso machine blends. As a rule, coff ee should always come out of the pressurized filter holder, without dripping.

The coff ee brewing speed can be modified by slightly changing the amount of coff ee in the filter and/or using a different coff ee grind.

GAGGIA recommends using ESE single-dose coff ee pods for a tasty coff ee and easier cleaning and preparing.

i

Note: The ESE Pod Kit is only available in the Style, Deluxe and Prestige models.
