The Gaggia Anima Deluxe is part of the newest line of Gaggia super-automatic machines. It features beverage programming, a sleek refined design, and a new Optiaroma system. The Optiaroma system increases the usual three aroma setting traditional to the Gaggia brand to five settings. It also allows for a maximum dosage of 11.5 grams per shot. The machine also features a smart grinder which makes micro-adjustments to the grind dosage for better tasting shots.

To prepare specialty milk drinks, the Anima Deluxe uses an auto-frothing cappuccinatore which siphons and froths milk directly from a container and dispenses it into your cup. There is a dedicated button located on the front of the machine to activate the frothing cycle and produce rich, creamy milk foam. The cappuccinatore can also be used to dispense hot water for drinks like a cafe americano or hot tea.

The machine's manual indicates that adjustments for the grinder should only be made while the grinder is running. While this is technically true, the sensor for the bean hopper sensor prevents adjustments from being made, because the grinder will turn of if the machine senses the hopper lid is open. This sensor is an additional safety feature for the U.S. version of the machine to prevent exposure to active grinder burrs; the manual does not reflect this change.

There are two ways to work around this issue. Another magnet can be placed on the hopper sensor so that the machine can be run with the lid open. Alternatively the grinder can be adjusted in small increments. Move the adjustment knob 1 tick, grind a shot, and then move it another tick. Do this until you are at the desired grind setting. This will ensure that any grinds or bean fragments are swept out of the way before the burr plates are moved closer together.

How to Setup and Startup Gaggia Anima Espresso Machines




Install It

  1. Find a swanky spot in your home for your new machine to live, preferably where the morning sun shine down on your new, personal barista.
  2. Get the power cord and the accessories out of the box.
  3. Plug the machine directly into an outlet. Don't plug it into surge protectors, extension cords, or timers.
  4. Fill the water tank.

Educate Yourself

There are a few things you should know before heating up your super-auto for the first time to keep the the espresso flowing and the milk frothing. In the video on the right, you'll learn all about recommended roasts, water hardness, grind settings, milk frothing and the brew group—or, as we like to think of it, your super-auto's inner barista.

5 Things New Super Automatic Espresso Machine Owners Should Know



Get the Right Beans

Coffee is all about the caffeine (er... flavor), and super-autos don't disappoint, though, they are a teensy bit picky when it comes to certain roasts. In particular, super-autos are oily-bean-averse, meaning they don't like extra dark or flavored beans, as they tend to gunk up the grinder. Watch the video on the right to learn how to choose the beans of your dreams and keep your grinder clean.

Find the Right Grind

Consistency is key when it comes to grind size. With super-autos, you can just set it and forget it, but it's good to know how to fine tune for your favorite roasts. A good rule of thumb to keep in mind: light roasts and small volumes such as in espresso need a finer grind, while dark roasts and long coffees favor a coarser grind. Watch the video on the right to learn more.
