Gaggia Brera Operating Instructions

• 18 •• 18 •
The machine is adjusted to
brew a true Italian espresso
coffee. This feature may slightly
lengthen the brewing time, allowing
the intense  avour of the co ee to
develop fully.
Using Pre-ground Co ee
This function allows using
pre-ground and decaffein-
ated co ee.
Pre-ground coffee must be poured into
the appropriate compartment positioned
next to the co ee bean hopper. Only use
ground co ee for espresso machines and
never co ee beans or instant co ee.
Note:
• If no pre-ground co ee is poured
into the compartment, only water
will be dispensed;
• If the dose is excessive and 2 or
more measuring scoops of co ee
are used, the machine will not
brew the product. Also in this case,
the machine will run an empty
cycle and discharge any ground
coffee into the coffee grounds
drawer.
To brew co ee:
• Press and release the “
“ button
until the pre-ground co ee function
icon is displayed.
• Lift the pre-ground coffee compart-
ment cover.
• Add 1 only 1 scoop of pre-ground
coffee to the compartment. Use the
measuring scoop supplied with the
machine to perform this operation.
Then, close the cover.
Warning: Only add pre-ground
coffee to the compartment.
Other substances and objects may
cause severe damage to the machine.
This damage will not be covered by
warranty.
Press and release:
the“
“ button for an espresso co ee;
the“
“ button for a long co ee.
• The brewing cycle then starts. After
the prebrewing cycle, co ee begins to
come out of the dispensing spout.
• Coffee brewing stops automatically
when the pre-programmed level is
reached; however, it is possible to in-
terrupt co ee brewing by pressing the
button initially pressed.
After dispensing the product, the
co ee beans con guration of the ma-
chine is restored.
