5.2 Using Coff ee Pods
• (Fig.11) - Use a coff ee spoon to remove the fi lter for
ground coff ee (13) from the pressurized fi lter holder (11).

fi lter holder. The handle is automatically slightly turned
leftwards.
This movement guarantees proper pressurized fi lter holder
performance.

unit (8) from the bottom.
• (Fig.16) - Turn the fi lter holder from left to right until it
locks into place.
• Take 1 preheated cup and place it under the fi lter holder.
Check that it is correctly placed under the coff ee brewing
nozzles.

6 TIPS FOR CHOOSING COFFEE
As a general rule, any type of coff ee available on the market
can be used.
However, coff ee is a natural product and its fl avour changes
according to its origin and blend; it is therefore a good idea to
try diff erent types of coff ee in order to fi nd the most suited to
your personal taste.
For optimal results, we recommend using espresso machine
blends. As a rule, coff ee should always come out of the pres-
surized fi lter holder, without dripping.
The coff ee brewing speed can be modifi ed by slightly chang-
ing the amount of coff ee in the fi lter and/or using a diff erent
coff ee grind.
GAGGIA recommends using ESE single-dose coff ee pods for a
tasty coff ee and easier cleaning and preparing.
