You press the espresso button once for a single espresso, and twice for a double. Press lungo if you want a lungo (long coffee, it's set to 50ml by default but you can set it to whatever you like). Designed to respond to a single touch, Gaggia has several automatic espresso machines for you to choose from. These include:Gaggia’s Brera Super-Automatic machine is a more affordable version of some of its higher-end prestige models. Before you start preparing drinks I’d highly recommend rinsing all removable parts. That’ll take care of any leftover factory fluff and dust. Once that’s done, fill the water reservoir and add coffee beans to the hopper. Oh, and don’t forget to plug the machine in – that’ll definitely help. Out of the box, espresso quality wasn’t quite what I wanted, and the first shot was watery and weak. The likely explanation is that the first shot didn’t grind enough coffee, as the machine was new; by the second shot, the grinder was pre-loaded with beans.

Again, remember to only adjust the grind settings when the grinder is working. Also keep in mind that your grind change won’t be apparent immediately. You’ll only get to experience the results after a couple of brewing cycles. Bypass Doser Once your coffee has been poured into your cup, the machine will ask if you want the cleaning cycle to begin. It is important to clean the machine after you’ve used it to ensure that the circuits are in good shape and continue to provide you with quality coffee. If you’re committed to the idea of a super automatic espresso machine that’ll make all the milk-based drinks under the sun, the Anima Prestige might feel like a letdown. Still, just because there are limited options on the menu doesn’t mean you can’t create your own specialties. The responsive buttons provide one-touch access to the drinks and features that the Anima can deliver. These include buttons for Espresso and Espresso Lungo (a “long” espresso), Strength, Steam, Hot Water and the Menu button to change other settings. If you're looking for something a little more feature-rich than the Gaggia Anima, take a look at the Anima Prestige. The biggest upgrade? The Animal Prestige comes with an automatic frother and dedicated buttons for cappuccinos and latte macchiatos.The Magenta and Cardona espresso machine models are newer. They can do more than espresso and offer dozens of drinks options. However, other models, like the Cardona Prestige, offer many options, which may work better for a household where several people need to share an espresso machine. Conclusion
