A superautomatic machine is perfect for those who want excellent coffee quickly and easily. With an integrated brew group, it can make espresso, cappuccino, and other beverages at the press of a button, allowing customization in just a few steps. It also features 100% ceramic grinders, ensuring freshly ground coffee and full aroma preservation. On the other hand, a manual espresso machine is for those who enjoy the barista experience at home. It requires practice and precision to make the perfect espresso but offers complete control over the brewing process.

The integrated milk carafe, CappInCup, and cappuccinatore are automatic milk frothing systems, while the steam wand and pannarello are manual tools.

• The integrated milk carafe is directly connected to the machine and froths milk twice for a smooth, velvety texture at the perfect temperature.
• CappInCup is Gaggia’s one-touch cappuccino system that draws milk from a container, froths it, and pours it into the cup without splashing.
• The cappuccinatore uses a cyclonic chamber to draw milk from a container, froth it, and dispense it automatically.
• The professional steam wand is ideal for those who want a true barista experience at home. It also dispenses hot water for tea and infusions.
• The pannarello is a simple steam wand that froths milk or dispenses hot water for tea.

Cadorna allows you to easily prepare and customize your favorite drinks, with all settings visible on the screen. Here are some tips:
• Use high-quality coffee beans and experiment with different blends.
• Turn the machine on a few minutes before use to ensure proper heating.
• Adjust the grinder settings according to your taste. Choose finer settings (1) for a stronger flavor and coarser settings (10) for a lighter taste.
• If using ground coffee, select the correct option (not available for Flat White or 2x mode).
• Use the Optiaroma function to adjust coffee strength, from 1 bean (mild) to 5 beans (strongest).
• Adjust coffee temperature at three levels: low, medium, high.
• Customize the coffee and milk quantity as per your preference.

You can adjust the grinder by turning the knob inside the coffee bean container, but only while the machine is grinding. There are 10 settings, from 1 (strongest, for light-roasted beans) to 10 (mildest, for dark-roasted beans). Changes will be noticeable after 2-3 brews.

For the best frothing results, use cold whole milk (5°C / 41°F) with at least 3% protein and 3.5% fat. Semi-skimmed cow milk, lactose-free milk, and soy milk also produce good results.

Yes, you can use still mineral water or tap water, but avoid sparkling water as it affects the brewing process.

Descaling is required based on water quality and usage. The machine will notify you when it's time to descale. Use only Gaggia descaler and follow the steps in the instruction booklet.

The machine is compatible with the Brita Intenza+ water filter, designed to prevent scale buildup.

• Quick Clean is a light cleaning of the milk circuit after every milk-based beverage. It is recommended daily.
• Deep Clean is a thorough cleaning done monthly using a specialized milk cleaning powder.

The following parts are removable and should be washed under tap water with mild dish soap (avoid abrasives and solvents):
• Drip tray, drip tray plate, coffee pucks container, water tank, pannarello, cappuccinatore, CappInCup, and milk carafe.
• The brew group should be rinsed with water only (no soap).
• The drip tray plate is dishwasher safe.

Use only Gaggia decalcifier, specially formulated for espresso machines. Do not use vinegar or descaling agents containing sulfuric, hydrochloric, or sulfamic acids, as they can damage the machine’s internal system.

The removable espresso tray is designed for easy cleaning and can be washed under tap water or in the dishwasher.
