INTENZA+ Water Filter

We recommend using the INTENZA+ water filter to limit the formation of limescale.
This ensures the machine will last longer and the aroma of your coffee will be better.
Water is an essential element in brewing coffee: it is therefore extremely important to ensure it is always filtered adequately.
The INTENZA+ water filter prevents the formation of mineral deposits, improving the quality of the water.

Note: If you do not want to replace the filter, select “DISABLE” to disable it.

Types of Beverage

time is shorter than a regular espresso. As such, a ristretto is a shorter shot and lower in caffeine.
Espresso| The espresso is known around the globe as true “Italian coffee”. Served in a small cup, its unmistakeable characteristics are a full and intense aroma and a top layer of compact, natural crema. It is the result of the hot-water pressurised extraction process invented by Achille Gaggia in 1938.
Espresso lungo| An espresso lungo is an espresso shot with a longer extraction time. It is more diluted, with a different aromatic intensity and a higher caffeine content. It is served in a medium-sized cup.
Coffee| Coffee is a beverage prepared with a greater quantity of water than an espresso shot. It has a lighter aroma and is served in a medium-large cup.
Americano| An Americano is a long, less intense coffee drink prepared by combining hot water and espresso.
Cappuccino| The cappuccino is an Italian classic, among the most loved in the world. It is prepared with espresso, milk and a milk froth, which must be no less than 1 cm thick. It is served in a large cup.
XL Cappuccino| An XL cappuccino is a cappuccino prepared with a greater quantity of espresso and milk.
Cortado| The cortado is an Argentinian beverage, consisting of an espresso shot with a small quantity of milk. It is usually served in a small glass and is popular in Spain, Portugal, and Latin America.
Flat white| A flat white is a beverage of Australian origin which has a strong, dominant coffee flavour. It is composed of a double espresso and milk, toped with a light layer of velvety foam.
Café au lait| A café au lait is a beverage composed of equal parts coffee and milk. This can even be enriched by a thin layer of milk froth. It is served in a large cup.
Latte macchiato| A latte macchiato is prepared with hot milk, one part milk froth and a small quantity of espresso. It is served in a tall, transparent glass to allow the separation of the three different layers to be seen.
XL latte macchiato| An XL latte macchiato is a latte macchiato prepared with a greater quantity of milk. It is served in a tall, transparent glass.
Frothed milk| Frothed milk is used to make cappuccinos, latte macchiatos and several other beverages. The result is a compact, homogeneous layer of milk froth.
Hot water| Hot water can be used to prepare hot teas, infusions and instant beverages.

Espresso tray

This machine was designed to guarantee flawless results, from a traditional espresso to a number of different beverages. If you wish to try a traditional Italian espresso, with a delicious layer of natural crema on the surface, we recommend using the “Espresso Tray”, which has been specifically designed for and integrated into the machine. This tray makes it possible to use traditional espresso cups, ensuring the perfect height from the spout for compact, homogeneous crema and dispensation without messy splashes.
