Congratulations on your choice!
Thanks to the new Gaggia Classic machine, you will become a real home barista and rediscover the traditional gestures of espresso professionals during each coffee break. When using Classic Coffee machine, it is important to pay attention to every detail, just like when using a professional bar machine: the machine must be very hot and the filter holder must always be installed to maintain a homogeneous temperature in the brew unit. Furthermore, the coffee must be ground finely but not too much, the right amountofgroundcoffeemustbeplacedinthefilteranditmustbepressedwithjusttherightintensity,to prevent the coffee from coming out too quickly, but not too much as this would make brewing very difficult. The new Classic features a filter holder unit and a steam wand just like professional machines.

Things to know
1.The taste of espresso depends on the amount and type of coffee used.
2.The particular taste of a coffee bean depends on several factors, but its taste and aroma are the result of the roasting process. Coffee beans roasted for a longer time and at higher temperatures are darker in colour. Darker coffeebeansreleasemoreflavourthanlighter ones. You will find different coffee qualities on the market. Each type of roasting is characterised by a mixture of beans roasted at a certain temperature and with a certain type of aroma.
There are decaffeinated coffees containing only 2% caffeine. Try different types of coffee with your espresso machine. You will probably discover a better aroma than the one previously used.
3.Pump espresso machines require a finely ground blend. Be sure to purchase the desired blend with a grinding degree that can be used with espresso machines. It is preferable to use a grinder mill rather than a blade mill because the latter releases too much coffee powder and produces an irregularly ground blend.
4.Itwouldbeidealtogrindthecoffeejustbefore use. Do not forget that it must be ground for the pump espresso machine.
5.It is recommended to store ground coffee or beans in airtight jars in the refrigerator. Preground coffee easily absorbs odours.
6.Real espresso can be recognised by its dark colour, rich taste and typical "natural cream".
7.Cappuccino is a special combination of espresso and hot frothed milk. It can be served with a sprinkling of cinnamon, nutmeg or cocoa.
8.Serve espresso coffee immediately after preparing it.
9.Serve espresso in coffee cups and cappuccino in breakfast cups.

Introduction
Before using your machine for the first time, please read the safety manual provided separately very carefully and store it for future reference.
Filters supplied
“Crema perfetta” filter for 1 or 2 cups (Fig.5)
This filter is already installed on the filter holder and allows you to obtain an espresso with cream even when using the machine for the first time.
Note. This filter must be used only together with the frothing jet device. (Fig.1-16).
Traditional filter for 2 cups
(Fig.7)
Traditional filter for 1 cup / single-dose pod (Fig.6)
These filters are like those used in professional bar machines and require manual skills and experience.
Note. These filters must not be used with the frothing jet device. (Fig.1-16).
Our advice is to start with the “crema perfetta” filter and then, once you have acquired manual skills and experience, move on to traditional ones to appreciate real barista use.
First installation
1.Remove the water tank cover (Fig.2) and fill it with cold water up to the MAX level of the tank (Fig.1-13).
2.Insert the plug into the outlet at the back of the machine (Fig.9) and the other end of the power cord into a wall socket with suitable voltage.
Press the on / off button (Fig.1-2), the power indicator light turns on(Fig.1-4).

To brew another espresso, slowly and carefully remove the filter holder, moving it to the left. Be careful not to burn yourself with the water left on the coffee grounds. Once the filter holder has been removed, some water will still drip. This is due to the water pressure in the system. Remove the grounds from the filter and any residues from the screen (Fig.16).
Note. Keep the clean filter holder installed on the machine without tightening it too much, so that the entire brew unit is always at the correct temperature.
Brewing an espresso using coffee pods
Note. To use coffee pods, remember to only use the traditional 1 cup filter (Fig.6).
Follow the instructions to make an espresso with ground coffee using the single-dose pre-ground coffee pod instead of ground coffee. Insert the pod into the filter holder (Fig.1-17); make sure that the paper of the pod does not stick out of the filter holder.
Preparing a cappuccino
To prepare a traditional cappuccino, we recommend:
-using fresh whole milk at a cold temperature, preferably high quality. The density of the frothed milk will depend on the milk fat content.
-using stainless steel, circular, rounded milk jugs, narrower at the top, with a spout, necessary to make cappuccino decorations.
The steam wand (Fig.1-14) will dispense all the steam required to froth the milk without bringing it to a boil.
With two or three attempts and a little effort you will become experts in preparing cappuccino. Before starting, it is important to slightly move the steam wand outwards in order to insert the jug directly under it and facilitate the movements required to froth the milk correctly.
At this point continue as follows:
ENGLISH 19
1.Prepare the espresso in a large cappuccino cup as indicated in the paragraph "Brewing an espresso using ground coffee".
2.Press the steam button (Fig.1-3).
3.After 15-20 seconds and when the steam temperature indicator light (Fig.1-6) turns on.
4.Turn the steam/hot water knob slightly counterclockwise to eliminate any condensation from the wand then close the knob again.
5.Place the jug, half-filled with cold milk, under the steam wand.
6.Place thesteam nozzlejustbelow thesurface of the milk; if it has been inserted too deep, the milk will not be frothed; if it has not been inserted deep enough, big bubbles will be produced and then disappear immediately.
It is important to keep the nozzle not at the centre but close to the edge of the jug, with an appropriate angle to produce a stronger vortex (Fig.8-1).
7.Turn the steam dispensing knob (Fig.1-7) counter-clockwise to let the steam come out. During this phase there is maximum air absorption and the milk must be frothed almost cold.
Note. The steam pressure increases as the knob is turned.
Note. The dispensing operation should last no longer than 60 seconds.
Dispensing steam continuously for more than 60 seconds can empty the boiler out completely. In this case, continue as indicated in the section "Loading the circuit".
Note. To froth the milk correctly, the steam nozzle (Fig.1-23) must always be in contact with the milk and not with the froth (Fig.8-2). Therefore, as the layer of froth increases, the jug must be slightly raised trying to keep the nozzle in contact with the milk, without touching the bottom of the jug
(Fig.8-A).
8.Once the desired frothing has been achieved, the steam nozzle must be pushed further to heat the milk well.
Note. It is advisable to always keep a hand on the rounded part of the jug to feel the temperature increase of the unfrothed milk.

9.Once the desired result has been achieved, close the steam knob, by turning it clockwise, to stop dispensing steam and remove the jug.
Note. After frothing the milk, to make the froth more compact, it is advisable to lightly tap the jug on a flat surface and leave it to rest for at least 30 seconds. The milk will become more homogeneous.
Warning! It is important to froth only the milk you need. The remaining hot milk in the jug should not be reused; it would damage the quality of the froth and above all the taste of the cappuccino. It should therefore be used in other ways.
10.Press the steam button (Fig.1-3).
Pour the frothed milk into the coffee. Decorate as desired with cinnamon, cocoa, nutmeg.
To prepare another coffee immediately, lower the boiler temperature by dispensing hot water from the coffee brew unit (Fig.1-8). Follow the instructions in the paragraph "How to lower the temperature"; otherwise, the coffee may taste burnt.
Warning! The steam wand may be very hot during and after use. To avoid burns, move it only by placing your fingers on the rubber tip fitted on the steam wand.
Warning! If coffee is brewed without reducing the temperature by dispensing water, you may get burnt!
Dispensing hot water
1.Turn the machine on and wait a few minutes until the correct coffee temperature indicator light (Fig.1-5) turns on.
2.Place a cup under the professional wand.
3.Slowly turn the steam knob (Fig. 1-7) counterclockwise and press the brew button (Fig.1-1) and the steam button (Fig.1-3) at the same time to allow for hot water to be dispensed.
4.Once the desired amount of hot water has been dispensed, stop dispensing by pressing
the brew button (Fig.1-1) and the steam button (Fig.1-3) again and turn the steam knob clockwise.
To prepare another coffee immediately, lower the boiler temperature by dispensing hot water from the coffee brew unit (Fig.1-8). Follow the instructions given in the paragraph "How to lower the boiler temperature", otherwise the coffee may taste burnt.
Note. The dispensing operation should last no longer than 60 seconds.
Warning! The steam wand may be very hot during and after use. To avoid burns, move it only by placing your fingers on the rubber tip fitted on the steam wand.
How to lower the boiler temperature
1.Do not insert the filter holder.
2.Place an empty cup on the grill.
3.Press the brew button (Fig.1-1) and fill the cup with water.
4.Press the brew button again (Fig.1-1).
The machine is now ready to brew another coffee.
Cleaning and maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance keep the machine in perfect conditions and ensure perfect coffee flavour, a constant coffee flow and excellent milk froth for a long period of time.
Cleaning the steam wand
After each milk frothing:
1.Clean the steam wand with a damp cloth. To clean it more thoroughly, you can unscrew the nozzle (Fig.13) and wash it with running water.
2.Open the steam knob, allowing the steam to escape for one or two seconds to clear the nozzle hole (Fig.1-23).
