Grind
Grinding is decisive in achieving a good cup of coffee.
Gaggia believes that you should grind the coffee you need just
before you make coffee to preserve the beans' aromas and flavours.
It is also important to avoid grinding the beans too coarsely
(photo) or too finely (photo). If the grind is too coarse the
coffee will lack body; if it is too fine the coffee will be
too strong.
Today you can buy ready-ground coffee, coffee beans or coffee capsules. If you choose coffee beans, because you do not want to lose the unique aroma of freshly-ground coffee, then you must have a good grinder.
Gaggia also offers a range of grinders made of top-quality materials which guarantee long-lasting, consistently high performance and enable you to choose the type of grind you prefer. Follow the grinder's instruction manual very carefully, adjusting the grind to the fineness that best reflects your taste (only possible with adjustable grinders).
