Product Information

I actually found the way that the steam works, to be quite handy even though it took a bit longer than I'm used to to get going.

If the machine runs out of beans, it doesn't stop and tell you that the beans are out, it'll carry on grinding thin air ;-), and it'll start pouring slightly coffee flavoured water. What’s more, using a filter will protect against limescale buildup and that’ll certainly prolong the life of your machine.

Drip tray, drip tray plate, coffee pucks container, water tank, pannarello, cappuccinatore, CappinCup and milk carafe are removable and should be washed under tap water, with a bit of dish soap, but no abrasive substances nor solvents. This inserts directly into the Anima’s water tank and cuts down the chances of the machine getting clogged quite so quickly with limescale.

The one thing to note about the grinder hopper is that there's no rubber seal around the lid as there is with the Brera, which means two things. We suggest to follow the step-by-step procedure illustrated in the instruction booklet and to use only the GAGGIA descaler that is especially thought especially for our espresso machines. This is a feature shared with all the Gaggia bean to cup machines, it's really clever, and it's not something you'll find with all machines. As with all grinders, you need to adjust the grind while beans are being ground so that you don't end up with beans stuck in between the burrs. All Gaggia bean to cup machines have built in test modes, some of which can be accessed by the user.

With that in mind, if you have a malfunctioning Gaggia, Saeco Philips, or Delonghi coffee maker, we encourage you to reach out to us before considering the purchase of a new one.
