Usage and maintenance recommendations

To enjoy a consistently high-quality espresso, it is essential to pay attention to technical details and accessories:

• Rigorous cleaning: rinse the portafilter and the basket with water after each use and clean the brew group every 2–5 days.
• Filtered water: always use filtered water to protect the machine's heating element and to highlight the coffee's sweet notes.
• Full equipment: explore the selection of moka coffee or accessories such as tampers and milk pitchers in the barista tools section.

A clean machine means coffee with a pure taste. Visit our filters and detergents section to find the right products for your model.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I use coffee beans with a manual espresso machine?

Yes, but the beans must be ground separately with a high-quality grinder before being placed in the portafilter. For optimal results, we recommend grinding the coffee just before brewing.

2. What is the difference between a manual and a semi-professional espresso machine?

Semi-professional machines, such as the Gaggia New Classic, use brass or stainless steel components and stable pressure pumps, providing an extraction much closer to that of a professional coffee shop.

3. How often should descaling be performed?

Depending on the water hardness (which can be tested with a special tester), descaling is recommended every 2–3 months to prevent the blockage of internal circuits and to maintain the correct water temperature.
