User questions & answers

Question:	Any experience with the free Amazon technical support and this machine
Answer:	Yes - I believe that it's through Whole Latte Love in Seattle (https://www.wholelattelove.com/) for all of these purchases. I had to send mine in for some bad sensors - didn't work right out of the box. It took a few weeks and of course it's a bit of an imposition to have to box it and ship it, but their service is top notch. Works perfectly now.
Question:	where is the gaggia babila made? Italy or Romania
Answer:	Italy as far as I know
Question:	can i just make plain cup of coffee with this machine
Answer:	Yes. It has a coffee button to make a cup of coffee. Every drink can be customized as well for strength, volume and temperature.
Question:	Anyone try lowering water/shot to 1oz and doing a double shot, i.e. almost 20 grams of beans and 2 oz espresso..and compare to Breville Oracle
Answer:	You can not do it on Gaggia Babila. The machine does single shot at a time. ( you can choose the X2 option but it will make two shots, one after another). However, you can increase the amount of coffee it grinds and decrease the amount of water for single shot to minimum.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this make only espresso or can tall coffees be made with the machine
Answer:	Yes, you can make a tall coffee with this machine. You can manipulate the amount of beans per grind to make less strong coffee. You can leave your cup under the spout and program 2 cups, which will give you a talker cup of coffee.
Question:	What are the best brands of coffee beans to use with this machine? Some reviews say its fussy with oily beans
Answer:	We bought our first Gaggia Brera in 2014. It was perfect for 5 years. We had no issues with grinding, and after much daily use, the machine wore out, and we purchased a new one in 2019. YIKES! The amount of money that we have wasted on beans is insane. Unfortunately, the grinder will grind up a full shot of beans and then reject them, so each time this happens, money is dumped out. Much worse, to buy such an expensive machine and then be forced into only very particular brands of coffee is unfair to the consumer. We love a number of independent roasters, and this machine's grinder sensor will accept one bag of beans and reject the next of the exact same brand. We did some research and found that most Italian companies are using the same sensors on their grinders, so this is an issue in many fully-automatics. Gaggia, I beg of you to rectify this problem. You have an excellent machine, but this one issue ruins the whole thing. We are considering junking this machine after 10 months of use. Sending it for repairs doesn't solve the sensor issue, and the repairs (even under warranty) are extremely costly because of shipping.
Question:	Can I pre-grind my beans because I have Starbucks beans and they're bad for the machine right
Answer:	Yes, use the pre-grind and use bypass on machine to use the starbucks coffee.. Do not use starbucks beans in the coffee grinder..
Question:	Can it be used in 220vat
Answer:	This machine is 1400 Watts and 120V.. Any other place it is used is a huge risk of damage for the machine along with the outlet itself.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work on the gaggia classic pro? how long do these filters last
Answer:	I don't know about the gaggia classic pro, but this tends to be the correct filter for a gaggia. Fits my Anima perfectly. As to how long they last, it's based on the volume of water that goes through it and your water softness setting in the coffee maker. So it depends a lot on how you use your machine. I typically have two lungo pulls per cup, and drink 2-3 cups a day (so 4-6 pulls, each lungo pull is 2oz for 8-12oz of water). Then you have steam and/or hot water production also pulling water through the filter. So call it probably 30+oz/day. I get about 1-2 months from a filter.
Question:	I just order the coffe machine,I would like to know how long last one of those filters? Thanks
Answer:	Depends on how much you use the machine. Machine will calculate the amount of water and schedule a change based on that. If the machine does not indicate when, We would recommend every 2-4 months.
Question:	Is it compatible for Gaggia Anima Milano
Answer:	I'm sorry I do not know. I have the Gaggia Super Automatic
Question:	What does it filter? it could be an empty cartridge given 5 stars? filter certifications
Answer:	Mostly filters for taste & order. Filters chlorine, larger particulates and has anti-scale properties.

The Barista Express by Breville, BES870XL

Create great tasting espresso in less than a minute. The Barista Express allows you to grind the beans right before extraction, and its interchangeable filters and a choice of automatic or manual operation ensure authentic cafe style results in no time at all.

The 4 keys formula for third wave specialty coffee at home:

1. Rich, full flavor

Full-bodied coffee with rich and complex flavors is created using the right dose of 19-22g of freshly ground beans. This dose allows the coffee to fully express the incredible aroma, intense flavors and distinctive character of the coffee, for a true cafe quality result. Anything less than the optimal dose results in a weak and watery taste experience.

2. Perfectly balanced taste

Sweet, delicious and nuanced flavor notes begin with precise control over water temperature. Digital temperature control (PID) technology precisely controls water temperature for a perfectly balanced coffee extraction, giving you the control and consistency for delicious tasting coffee every time.

3. Irresistible body

An opulent, creamy and caramel-colored espresso starts with low pressure pre-infusion that soaks the grinds, allowing water to pass evenly through the coffee during the high pressure (9 bar) extraction process, delivered via our 15 bar Italian pump. This results in a rich, sweet and viscous espresso.

4. Silky, velvety mouthfeel

Savor the silky taste and velvety mouthfeel of true microfoam milk. The milk is steamed with pressure that creates thousands of tiny bubbles, enhancing flavor and mouthfeel, while the temperature brings out the milk’s sweetness, exciting your taste buds, for a harmonious blend of rich, sweet milk and syrupy, golden espresso.

Dose-Control Grinding

Integrated conical burr grinder grinds on-demand to deliver the right amount of freshly ground coffee directly into the portafilter for your preferred taste with any roast of bean.

Grind Size Dial

Simple and intuitive, giving you control over the grind size no matter what type of bean you're grinding.

Precise Espresso Extraction

Digital temperature control delivers water at precisely the right temperature, ensuring optimal espresso extraction.

Micro-Foam Milk Texturing

The steam wand performance allows you to hand texture micro-foam milk that enhances flavor and enables creation of latte art.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is it made, Italy or Romania
Answer:	Not sure where it is made—-can only say that Romania is not mentioned anywhere in the accompanying literature. Gaggia’s HQ are in Italy.
Question:	is the machine set up to brew 2 cups atthe same time
Answer:	Two streams emerge from the brew holder. They are spaced to allow 2 single shots or a "doppio" into a larger cup.
Question:	Is it made in China or Italy
Answer:	I've looked all over mine and there is no placard with SN or country of origin anywhere. If it were made in China it would definitely say so. The instruction book is printed in Italy. Usually when an item is manufactured in China so is the instruction book, replete with curious syntax. Not here.
Question:	Where is this machine made
Answer:	Made in Italy
