• 9 •ENGLISH 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

2. A variety of dark roasts are available from

which you can choose to brew your espres-

so. Each of these roasts is a blend of coffee

beans that are roasted at a specific tempe-

rature 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

6. Espresso Coffee should be served immedia-

tely 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

8. Ideally, coffee beans should be ground im-

mediately before using. Remember, it must

be an “espresso grind” for pump-driven

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

How to make a good Espresso coffee:

Coffee dose programming

With this Gaggia appliance two different water

doses can be programmed to obtain one or two

cups of coffee. To adjust the water doses and

store them for a following dispensing request,

first of all carry out the “COFFE PREPARATION”

procedure on page 11- sections 2-3-4, and then

1 Press the programming button (6) for 3 sec.

until the light (6) starts flashing.

At the same time the symbols of buttons 2

2 After introducing the one-cup filter, press key

(2) and let the coffee flow down.

3 Press the same key (2) again until the desired

optimum dose for one coffee is reached.

4 Now the water dose assigned for one coffee

to key (2) will be stored and the light placed

below the key will turn off.

5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the water

NOTE: The temperature ready-light (7) will

automatically flash as the machine boiler

heats. After switching on the machine for the

first coffee, wait 6 minutes until the machine

has fully heated up, while for all subsequent

coffees the machine will be ready to use.

Another feature of the machine is the “no-drip

system”, eliminating most of dripping from

After coffee brewing, however, a little dripping

may occur due to wet coffee grinds in the filter-

without water in machine as damage

to the pump may occur.Damage of

2 Select the correct filter basket (10 or 11) and

insert it in the filter holder (9).

Every user will be free to program the doses

to obtain a more or less strong coffee and

to assign bigger or smaller doses to buttons

(2 and 3) to use 1 or 2 cup filter.

6 After storing these doses, press “MENU” key

(6) again to exit from the programming fun-

ction. The symbols placed under the buttons

will re-start lighting up alternatively.

Use the small filter for 1 cup and the large

filter for 2 cups of espresso.

Then insert filter-holder (9) into the appliance

and wait at least 10 minutes.

3 After the warm-up period, remove the warm

filter-holder (9) 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

(18) provided. Do not compress too firmly.

4 Clean any excess coffee from the rim of

filter holder (9). 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.

5 Place one or two espresso cups on the drip plate

to line up with the spouts of the filter holder. Press

the button corresponding to the stored coffee

dose. Espresso will start to flow into cups.

6 The coffee dispensing will automatically stop

when the preset level is reached (see Coffee

dose programming);however it is possi-

ble to stop the coffee dispensing by pressing

the button (2 or 3) as previously selected.

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

7 Remove cups and serve.

8 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 wa-

ter 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 2 to 7 above.

9 To prepare coffee manually, carry out steps 2

through 5 and then press button 6. When you

have obtained the desired quantity of coffee

in the cup, press button 6 again to stop the

cycle. Then proceed with steps 6 and 7.

N.B.: Dispensing should not exceed 40

The machine allows you to adjust the dosage

settings so that the water produced for the COF-

FEE dose is preceded by a pre-infusion step.

Press the dose button (2) and the normal coffee

cycle is preceded by a brief, timed jet of water

that moistens the coffee wafer before the actual

coffee making cycle starts.

This function allows you to get the most flavor

out of the coffee wafer.

PRE-INFUSION is not available on the dose
