Gaggia TEBE Instructions Manual page 6

I N T R O D U C T I O N
Congratulations for choosing Gaggia! Thanks to the Tebe Gaggia you can enjoy
delicious coffee or cappuccino in the comfort of your own home. Espresso is prepa-
red by rapidly filtering pressurized water that has been heated to the right tempera-
ture through a finely roasted blend.
The heart of the Tebe Gaggia consists of a high-performance pump. A switch is
used to control the water flow.
The way to prepare an aspresso coffee or cappuccino is quite different from the pro-
cedure used for the traditional coffee pot.
Therefore, it is very important to carefully read all the instructions before using
your Tebe Gaggia.
Familiarize yourself with the different parts of the espresso machine before making
a cup of coffee.

The state of the espresso depends
on the quality and type of coffee
used. The particular flavor of a cof-
fee bean depends on different fac-
tors but the taste and aroma are the
result of the roasting process. The
coffee beans which are roasted lon-
ger and at higher temperatures have
a darker color.
Darker beans release more aroma
compared to lighter beans.
You can buy different qualities of
coffee. Each type of roasting is
characterized by a blend of beans
roasted at a particular temperature
and with a particular type of aroma.
Decaffeinated coffees are also avai-
lable which contain only 2% caffei-
ne. Use different types of coffee in
your espresso machine. You will
probably discover an aroma that is
better than the being used up to
now.

the dark color, rich taste and typical
creaminess.

Cappuccino is a special combina-
tion of espresso coffee and hot
fronthy milk. It can be served with
a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg or
chocolate.
The espresso coffee should be ser-
ved immediately after it has been
prepared.
Serve the espresso coffee in a small

coffee cup and the cappuccino in a
larger breakfast cup.

Each type of coffee requires a spe-
cific type of grinding since the cof-
fee beans available on the market
have different blends and different
levels of roasting.
