Frequently Asked Questions - RI9305 GAGGIA

How to descale my Gaggia RI9305?

Use a specific descaling product for espresso machines. Mix it with water in the tank, start a descaling cycle according to the manual, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Perform this operation every 2-3 months.

Why is my espresso too cold?

Make sure the machine is preheated (wait 15-20 min). Ensure the cup is warmed and the ground coffee is at room temperature. If the problem persists, the boiler may need descaling.

How to clean the steam wand?

After each use, purge the wand by letting steam flow for a few seconds. Clean the outside with a damp cloth. For deep cleaning, disassemble the tip and soak it in warm soapy water.

What type of ground coffee to use?

Use a fine espresso grind. Avoid coarse grinds that would result in weak coffee. ESE pods are also compatible.

What to do if the machine does not turn on?

Check that the power cord is plugged in and the outlet works. Try another appliance. If nothing happens, the internal fuse may have blown; contact customer service.

How to prepare a cappuccino?

Prepare a single or double espresso. Froth cold milk with the steam wand until you get a creamy foam. Pour the foamed milk over the espresso and serve.

Why is the coffee bitter?

Bitterness can come from too fine a grind, too much tamping, or over-extraction. Try a coarser grind and reduce extraction time.

How to replace the group gasket?

Remove the filter basket and portafilter. Remove the old gasket using a flat tool. Insert the new gasket by pressing firmly. Reassemble everything. A worn gasket can cause leaks.

Is the pressure adjustable?

No, the pressure is fixed at 15 bars for optimal extraction. If you notice a change, descaling may be necessary or the pump may be faulty.

How to use ESE pods?

Insert an ESE pod into the appropriate portafilter. Lock it into the machine. Make sure the pod is centered. Start extraction as for ground coffee.

ADJUSTMENTS

The machine that you have bought allows for certain adjustments that will permit you to use it to its full potential.

Gaggia Adapting System

Coffee is a natural product and its characteristics may change according to its origin, blend and roast. The Gaggia coffee machine is equipped with a self-adjusting system that allows the use of all types of coffee beans available on the market (non caramelized).

• The machine automatically adjusts itself in order to optimise the extraction of the coffee, ensuring perfect compression of the tablet to obtain a creamy espresso coff ee that will release all the aromas, regardless of the type of coff ee used.
• The optimisation process is a learning process that requires the brewing of a certain number of coffees to allow the machine to adjust the compactness of the ground coffee.
• Attention should be given to special blends, which require grinder adjustments in order to optimise the extraction of the coff ee (see the "Coff ee Grinder Adjustment" section).

Coff ee Grinder Adjustment

Warning! The grinder adjustment knob, inside the coff ee bean hopper, must be turned only when the grinder is working. Do not pour ground and/or instant coffee into the coff ee bean hopper.

Do not insert any material other than coffee beans into the hopper. The grinder contains moving parts that may be dangerous. Therefore, do not insert fingers and/or other objects. The grind setting may only be adjusted using the knob. Turn off the machine and unplug it from the socket before carrying out any type of operation inside the coffee bean hopper. Do not pour coffee beans when the coffee grinder is working.

The machine allows slight adjustments to the coff ee grinder to adapt it to the kind of coff ee used.

To make any adjustment, press and turn the knob inside the coffee bean hopper.

Press and turn the knob by one notch at a time and brew 2-3 cups of coffee; this is the only way to notice differences in grind.

The reference marks inside the coffee bean hopper indicate the grind setting. There are 5 different grind settings to choose from with the following references:

Large Mark - Coarse Grind Small Mark - Fine Grind.

Adjusting the Coff ee Length

The machine allows you to adjust the amount of brewed coffee according to your taste and/or the size of your cups.

Each time the "3" or "buttons are pressed and released, the machine brews a pre-set amount of coffee, as per factory settings. This amount may be reprogrammed to your taste. Each button may be individually programmed for a specific brew setting.

As an example, the following procedure describes the programming of the button "☐", which is normally associated with espresso coffee.

• Place a cup under the dispensing spout.
• Hold the "button pressed for 5 seconds to enter the programming mode; the "icon will blink quickly and the coffee will start to be brewed; the icon will flash during the whole coffee brewing cycle.
• Press the "button again when the amount of coffee in the cup reaches the desired level.

At this point the button "is programmed; each time it is pressed and released, the machine will brew the same amount of coffee that was just programmed.

The same operation can be repeated for the "button. If the "or "button is pressed twice to brew coffee, the machine will brew double the stored quantity.

Standby

The machine is designed for energy saving. The machine automatically turns off after 60 minutes of inactivity.

The "☐" button blinks when the machine is in stand-by mode.

Note: During the turning off phase, the machine performs a rinse cycle, if a coffee product has been brewed.

Warning: When turning the machine on after it has been turned completely off, the machine will be in stand-by mode

To turn the machine on again simply press the STAND-BY button (if the power button is set to "I"). In this case the machine will go through the rinse cycle only if the boiler is cold.
