What is the difference between a superautomatic and a manual espresso machine?

If you prefer to obtain excellent results in a fast way, a superautomatic machine is what suits you the best. Equipped with a patented brew group, makes espresso, cappuccino and other hot beverages just by pressing a button, that can be customized as you prefer in a few easy steps. Moreover, the integrated 100% ceramic grinders let you have freshly ground coffee at every use and preserve all the aromas. While, if you like to relive the barista rituals at home, a manual machine is the right choice. Learning how to make an impeccable espresso requires care and practice, but it is definitely worth it.

What is the difference among the integrated milk carafe, the CappInCup, the cappuccinatore, the professional steam wand and the pannarello?

The integrated milk carafe, the CAPPinCUP and the cappuccinatore are automatic systems to froth milk, while the steam wand and the pannarello are manual tools.

In detail:

• The integrated milk carafe is directly connected to the machine and gets activated when you select a milk-based beverage. It froths milk twice, so to dispense a velvety milk froth, always at the right temperature
• The CAPPinCUP is the new one-touch cappuccino system by Gaggia. With a click, it takes milk from a container (or the external carafe), froths and slides it automatically into a cup. This solution avoids splashes, and there is no need to move the cup from under the coffee spouts.
• The Cappuccinatore has a patented cyclonic chamber that draws milk directly from a container through a tube, froths it and delivers it automatically into a cup.
• The professional steam wand is perfect for the ones who want to relive the barista rituals at home. A true professional experience that will give you surprising in-cup results. Moreover, it also dispenses hot water for teas and infusions
• The classic pannarello is a simpler and immediate solution that dispenses steam to froth milk, or hot water for teas and infusions

How can I prepare and personalize the beverages? Are there any specific suggestions?

With Cadorna, you can easily prepare and customize your favorite drinks: all settings are displayed on the same screen.

To get the best results, watch the dedicated video in the HOW TO section and read these suggestions:

1. Always use high quality coffee. We suggest to try different blends to find the one that better suits your taste.
2. Turn the machine on a few minutes before using it, so it properly warms up to guarantee the best performances
3. If you are going to use coffee beans, adjust the grind settings according to your personal taste and to the type of coffee used. The options range from 1, the finest (suggested to balance light-roasted beans or to get a strong flavour) to 10, the coarsest (ideal for darker beans, or to get a lighter flavour).
4. If you want to use ground coffee, select the specific option. Please note that it is not available for Flat White nor when using the “2x” option
5. Adjust the intensity of coffee with the Optiaroma function, that regulates the amount of ground coffee, from 1 bean (light flavour, less ground coffee) to 5 beans (the strongest).
6. Personalize the coffee temperature on 3 levels: low-medium-high
7. Adjust the coffee length as you prefer
8. If you are making a milk-based beverage, you can also adjust the quantity of milk in cup
9. If you are making hot water or americano, you can also choose the quantity of water

How can I change the grinder settings?

It is possible to adjust the grinder settings by rotating the knob inside the coffee beans container, one notch at at time, and only when the machine is grinding. You can choose among 10 different settings, from 1 – the boldest (for light roasted coffee beans) to 10 – the lightest (for dark roasted coffee beans). You will taste the difference after 2-3 brewings.

Cadorna Style

Do grinding, Optiaroma and pre-brewing affect the taste of coffee?

Of course. A correct grinding is fundamental when preparing coffee-based drinks: not too coarse or you’ll get a watery coffee and not too fine or coffee won’t come out. Regulate it to adapt to the coffee blend you are using. Optiaroma allows to regulate the amount of ground coffee used per cup, for a light or strong taste according to one’s preferences. Adding more coffee makes it harder for the water to go through, slowing down the extraction time and resulting in a stronger coffee. Pre-brewing affects the aroma intensity. With this process, ground coffee are moistened with hot water for some seconds before the actual brewing, releasing a wider range of aromas.

Back Back to
Cadorna Style

Which kind of milk can I use to get an impeccable froth?

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.

Can I use mineral water?

Yes, you can use mineral still water or tap water. Avoid sparkling water as it can negatively affect the brewing process.

How can I save my favourite beverages in a profile?

It’s very easy. you can do it in two ways:

– from PROFILES: click on the “MY FAVOURITES” button, select a profile and start adding the beverages, personalised according to your preferences
– from the HOMEPAGE (screen with all drinks): select the drink you prefer, personalise it as you like, and save it in the profile by clicking on the heart icon. You can now dispense it, and you will find it just as you saved it, at every next use.

NOTE: From the HOME (screen with all drinks) you can also choose to brew the beverage without modifying the traditional pre-set recipe, or to customize it, brew it, but not saving the settings.

NOTE: In the case you customized a drink but, instead of saving it correctly, you click on “My Favourites” by mistake, the machine asks you if you are sure to exit. In fact, by doing so, your settings will not be saved.

Back Back to
Cadorna Style

Is it possible to save the same drink, in the same profile, but with different personalisations?

No, it is not possible, as it overwrites the previously saved settings. For example, you can save in your profile the “espresso” with just one set of customized settings.

Back Back to
Cadorna Style

For which beverages it is not possible to select the "x2" option?

It is not possible to select the simultaneous brewing of two cups when brewing americano, hot water or a milk-based beverage.

Why does my espresso machine automatically start a rinsing cycle?

This automatic rinsing cycle – that happens when the machine is switched on or goes in stand-by mode – is necessary to keep the circuits always clean and to heat the coffee circuit to guarantee an extraordinary result from the first use.

How can I descale my machine?

The descaling procedure is guided via the interface to help you during the entire process. Watch the videos in the HOW TO section for a more detailed explanation.

Back Back to
Cadorna Style

What descaler can I use?

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 and any 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.

Back Back to
Cadorna Style

When do I have to descale my machine?

Scale is a normal consequence of using the machine, and it depends also on the quality of the water you use. It is necessary to descale the machine when the display alerts you to proceed. We suggest to follow the step-by-step procedure illustrated in the instruction booklet and to use only the GAGGIA descaler that is especially thought especially for our espresso machines.

Back Back to
Cadorna Style

Which water filter can I use?

The Gaggia Cadorna range is compatible with Brita Intenza+ water filter, especially designed to protect the machine against scale.

Cadorna Style

Which components are removable and washable?

Drip tray, drip tray plate, coffee pucks container, water tank, pannarello, cappuccinatore, Capp in Cup, milk carafe are removable. We recommend to wash them under tap water, with a bit of dish soap, but no abrasive substances nor solvents. The removable brew group should be washed under tap water. The drip tray plate could be washed also in the dishwasher.
