- Dose en Tamp: Fill the filter basket with ground coffee. Distribute the coffee evenly, then tamp firmly and level with a tamper.
- Voeg Portafilter in: Attach the portafilter to the group head by inserting it from the left and rotating it firmly to the right until it is secure.
- Plekbeker: Position your espresso cup(s) under the portafilter spouts.
- Brou Espresso: Once the "coffee ready" indicator light is on, press the coffee button (II) to start brewing. The espresso will begin to flow.
- Hou op brou: Druk die koffieknoppie (II) again when the desired volume of espresso is reached (typically 25-30ml per shot).
- Verwyder Portafilter: Carefully remove the portafilter by rotating it to the left. Discard the used coffee grounds.

Onderhoud en Skoonmaak
1. Daaglikse skoonmaak

- Remove the portafilter, rinse it, and repeat the backflushing process with plain water to rinse out any detergent.

Regular descaling is crucial to remove mineral buildup and maintain machine performance. Use a Gaggia-approved descaling solution.

- Turn on the machine. Run half of the solution through the group head by pressing the coffee button.
