User questions & answers

Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	As of 2010, all Gaggia espresso and coffee machines are still manufactured in Milan at the Robecco sul Naviglio factory. The 2015 Gaggia Classic was built in Romania instead. The New Gaggia Classic is made in Italy again and uses an aluminum boiler. Gardenia doesn't know what he/she/it is talking about.
Question:	Is the boiler made of aluminum like the classic
Answer:	Thank you for your question. The boiler is made of aluminum, yes.
Question:	Anyone know the actual size of this machine? The specs say 8 x 9.5 x 9.5 in but I'm sure that is not correct. Thanks
Answer:	Thank you for pointing this out! The correct dimensions are 8 x 9.5 x 14.2 in.
Question:	Is this a great machine? I seen reviews on this and this machine came out recently
Answer:	Works great for me. Very easy to use

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 Duo-Temp Pro Espresso Machine by Breville, BES810BSSUSC

Balanced flavors start with an even extraction using low pressure pre-infusion just like a commercial machine. A great tasting espresso or cappuccino is about the right balance of sweetness, acidity and bitterness. The Duo-Temp Pro provides you with cafe quality taste at home.

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.

Precise Espresso Extraction

Low pressure pre-infusion helps ensure all the flavors are drawn out evenly during the extraction for a balanced tasting cup.

Mircro-Foam Milk Texturing

High power 1600W element delivers sufficient steam to create micro-foam, enhancing flavor & enabling you to produce latte art.

Maintenance Indicators

Our machines let you know when they need a little upkeep. Cleaning and Drip Tray alerts make routine maintenance low-maintenance.

Auto Purge

Automatically purging the heat system after steaming ensure your next espresso is extracted at the right temperature.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this fit a Gaggia Classic´s original portafilter? if so, does it also include the rear cover

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it compatible with bosch's built-in coffee machine (bcm8450uc
Answer:	Probably not. The Gaggia classic was not designed to take an in-tank water filter to my knowledge.
Question:	How long does each filter last in a Gaggia machine
Answer:	I have a Gaggia Academia. I suggest you contact Whole Latte Love. They should be able to answer your question.
Question:	Does it work in the Gaggia Classic machines
Answer:	Yes it fits the Gaggia Classic's original portafilter. But it does not include the rear cover.
Question:	Is it compatible with the Gaggia Anima Deluxe
Answer:	Good catch. This is the original design of the handle. The FIRST handle I had (the one that came in the box with my machine) looked like this. The replacement I bought had that sloping insert and was grey rather than the almost-black of this design. If that's the one that came with your machine, the insert WILL NOT fit this style of handle. Don't know if you can still get the sloped version, but my 2nd replacement (this flat design) did NOT come with the insert. I kept the old, broken original one, though (lucky me) so I was able to use that. I'd suggest digging around the web a bit more before you pull the trigger, or ask the vendor if you can get the insert separately.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do I need to buy any other thing besides the coffee beans to use this machine well? For example, "Stainless Steel Frothing Pitcher
Answer:	I ran it for longer than 10 minutes. I had no problem.
Question:	What are the significant improvements of the 870 over the 860 Express besides hot water and 1600W
Answer:	Not loud at all. Maybe a bit more than the microwave.
Question:	Will the machine fit on top of this protective mat? I'm not sure of the dimensions. http://amzn.to/2l8g4zZ
Answer:	11 libras
Question:	I'll be using this mainly for long black/americanos. Any tips or downsides to getting the most brewed liquid? I love a big, hearty mug of joe
Answer:	I would say not very well. I have not tried it on pepperoni but I tried to slice a country ham very thin and it ripped it to shreds. It is very difficult to get a thin clean slice.
