Wenn Sie es vorziehen, auf schnelle Weise hervorragende Ergebnisse zu erzielen, ist ein Kaffeevollautomat genau richtig für Sie. Ausgestattet mit einer patentierten Brühgruppe, bereitet die Maschine Espresso, Cappuccino und andere Heißgetränke auf Knopfdruck zu. Außerdem sorgt das integrierte Mahlwerk aus 100% Keramik dafür, dass der Kaffee bei jedem Gebrauch frisch gemahlen ist und alle Aromen erhalten bleiben. Wenn Sie hingegen die Rituale eines Barista zu Hause leben möchten, ist eine manuelle Maschine die richtige Wahl. Die Zubereitung eines perfekten Espressos erfordert Sorgfalt und Übung, aber es lohnt sich.
The pressurized “crema perfetta” filter-holder guarantees and keeps the right pressure to get perfect in-cup results anytime, regardless your level of expertise. While the traditional filter-holder has the same size, ring and style of the professional ones, thus it requires more practice, ability and care for all the involved elements. By paying attention to all details of the barista’s ritual – from the type of blend to the grinding, from the pressure used for tamping to the correct position of the filter-holder in the group – you will obtain an authentic espresso, like the one you taste in an Italian bar.
The Gaggia manual espresso machines offer the possibility to use paper pods. To get a good in-cup result, it is fundamental to follow the procedure illustrated in the instruction booklet. Be sure to use the correct filter (traditional filter for 1 cup) and standard pods (44mm).

1. Choose the blend you like the most and be sure that it is an high quality selection.
2. If you decide to use coffee beans, grind them at the right size: not too coarse (or water will flow too fast) and not too fine (or water will not flow)
3. Insert the “crema perfetta” filter for ground coffee in the filter-holder
4. Put 1-1,5 servings for a single espresso or 2 for 2 cups using the ground coffee doser
5. Slightly press with the back of the ground coffee doser. It is not necessary to press too much, as the pressurized filter-holder has a system optimized to brew a perfect espresso anytime
6. Remove any coffee residues from the edges of the filter-holder
7. Turn the pressurized filter-holder from left to right until it locks into place. Release the pressurized filter-holder grip. The handle will turn slightly to the left. This movement guarantees optimum filter-holder performance.
8. Rotate the central knob to the left to brew an espresso
9. When you get the desidered in-cup quantity, move the knob to the steady position to stop the brewing. Now your espresso is ready!
To get an even warmer espresso, we suggest to follow these three little tips.
1. Turn on the machine a few minutes before using it, so it can heat properly and get ready to use.
2. Keep the clean filter-holder locked to the group – not too tight – both during the heating phase and after cleaning. This preserves the temperature and avoids termal shocks.
3. Pre-heat the cups by placing them on the cup warmer or dispense a bit of hot water with the pannarello on the cups, then wipe them with a cloth
We suggest to use whole cold milk (at circa 5° C / 41° F), with a protein content of at least 3% and a fat content of at least 3.5%. Proteins will incorporate air in the cream, while fats will make it dense and steady. Also semi-skimmed cow milk, some lactose-free milk and soy drink are proven to deliver a good result.
1. Place a cup under the pannarello
2. Rotate the central knob on steam icon . When the light is steady, the machine is ready to dispense steam.
3. Turn the steam/hot water knob slightly counter-clockwise to eliminate any condensation from the pannarello
4. Close the knob again and remove the cup.
5. Place a jug, filled for 1/3 with cold milk, under the pannarello
6. Turn the steam dispensing knob counter-clockwise to let the steam come out. Move the jug slowly, up and down, to heat the milk evenly, and turn the knob clockwise.
7. Once the desired frothing has been achieved, close the steam knob by turning it clockwise to stop dispensing steam, and remove the jug.
8. Rotate the central knob to the steady position.
For more details, please follow the procedure in the instruction booklet
Yes, you can use mineral still water or tap water. It is important not to use sparkling water as it can negatively affect the brewing process.
In order to get the best result with Viva it is fundamental to follow the instruction booklet step by step, and to choose quality coffee pods.
For the first coffee, turn the machine on and wait for the “machine ready” light to become lit. Then, you need to:
a. Insert the black coffee pod filter adapter in the filter-holder (convex side on bottom), and place the coffee pod filter above it. Do not insert the pod.
b. Lock the filter-holder to the machine and brew some water by rotating the knob to the left. The filter-holder is warmed up.
c. Unlock the filter-holder and get rid of the excess water. Do not wipe it.
d. Place the coffee pod inside the filter so it can adhere well to it
e. Turn the rotating knob to the left to start brewing coffee, and move it to the center once coffee reached the desidered in-cup quantity. Your espresso is ready!
Different kinds of coffee pods lead to different in-cup results, that is why it is crucial to choose quality ones. In particular, the standard one must:
– have a diameter of 44mm
– contain 7 grams of pressed ground coffee
– be perfectly sealed
– contain quality coffee, not too finely nor too coarsely ground, with a medium-light roasting.
We suggest to try different typologies until you find the one that better suits your taste.
We suggest to check the correct position of the filter-holder. It must be locked tight, so the handle is central, perpendicular to the machine, or it is slightly towards the right. In case the handle points to the left, it means the filter-holder is not locked correctly, and must be repositioned.
Besides, please make sure to respect the ground coffee dosage indicated on the user manual, and, in case you use pods, we suggest to properly follow the instructions on the user manual.

Before you use your Manual Espresso machine for the first time or in case the internal circuit has run out of water, you need to flush/prime the machine with fresh water. Here below easy instruction to follow:
1. Rinse and fill the water tank.
2. Insert the plug and switch the ON/OFF button on the back to the “I” position.
3. The “Power-ON” light at the front will turn on.
4. Place a container under the pannarello.
5. Open the “Hot water /steam” knob on the side by turning it counter clockwise.
6. Set the Selection knob to the “Coffee” position. Dispense the whole water tank.
7. When finished close the “Hot water/steam” knob and set the Selection knob to the “Neutral position”.
8. The machine is now flushed/primed and ready for use.
Kalkablagerungen sind eine normale Folge der Benutzung der Maschine und hängen auch von der Qualität des verwendeten Wassers ab. Sie müssen das Gerät entkalken, sobald das Display Sie dazu auffordert. Wir empfehlen Ihnen, die in der Gebrauchsanweisung beschriebene Vorgehensweise Schritt für Schritt zu befolgen und nur den speziell für unsere Espressomaschinen entwickelten Entkalker von GAGGIA zu verwenden.
To descale your Gaggia coffee machine use only the Gaggia decalcifier, a unique solution made to ensure excellent performances of the machine throughout time. Vinegar or other descaling agents must be avoided. Never use descaling agents based on mineral acids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and sulfamic acid. These descaling agents may damage your coffee machine’s pipe and tube system.
In order to properly clean the filter-holder you need to:
1. Remove the filter that is installed
2. Wash the filter under tap water (not in the dishwasher)
3. Wash the inside of the traditional filter-holder under tap water (not in the dishwasher).
Filters must be kept clean to guarantee an every day perfect result. If you notice a malfunction when brewing coffee, immerse the filters in boiling water for 10 minutes and then rinse them with running water. For a more thorough cleaning, use the Gaggia oil remover tablets.
It is possible to remove the water tank, the pannarello, the drip tray and drip tray plate. We suggest to wash them under tap water and to delicately wipe them with a clean cloth. We advise against washing these components in the dishwasher.
