„Maybe you are the right person to ask a couple of questions about my just received Gaggia Carezza. When I try to place the Filterholder in the brewing head, it doesn't fit and it's impossible to turn it into position. This only take place with the Single Shot cup filter.“

„It's the filterholder's drip stop switch. It is supposed to be set to "Full Drip" when you brew a full pot, "Slow Drip" (half open) for brewing less than a full pot, and No Drip (closed) to pull out the pot when coffee is still brewing. However, it has a fantastic alternative function; I set it to No Drip for the first 1-2 minutes of the brew cycle to allow for the hot water and grinds to fully infuse, then I switch it to Slow Drip for the remainder of the brew cycle (I see no need to use Full Drip at all). The intensity of the coffee is excellent using this technique, and no longer is the timing of the water passing through the coffee dependent on the grind; too coarse and the brew tastes week and under-infused, too fine and it is bitter and has sediment).“

CoffeeGeek - Isomac Zaffiro - Performance
„It does let you down in terms of being a "cappuccino machine", because of a long draw time between brewing and steaming (I do not recommend steaming first, then cycling the machine down to brew a shot - it takes almost as long, and can use half a reservoir of water in the process). But with that said, the actual steam performance of the Zaffiro was superb once the machine is heated up properly.“

View topic - CREMA? WHERE'S THE CREMA??? - Coffee Forum
„I'm using a very good Guatemalan Antigua espresso coffee on my Gaggia Carezza. The grinding is perfect as well as the tamping and after I follow all the instructions, still can't obtain the CREMA that I'm supposed to. This is more evident after my first shot. I do the priming, wait for the correct temperature and my CREMA is far from present.“

„Second choice for coffee brewing would be a gold filter, since this filter doesn't remove any flavor from the coffee, as would be the case with a paper filter. Paper filters have a tendency to filter out coffee oils and grounds as well as flavor, plus your cup tends to pick up a bit of the paper's taste. Once brewed, coffee should not sit over heat for more than thirty minutes; any longer and you lose flavor at a rapid rate. For those who want their coffee warm all morning long, a pre-heated Thermos is a good idea.“
