| − | There are some key differences in how Super-Automatic machines work in comparison to semi-automatic/manual units to be aware of before the first use. Having a working knowledge of the machine before using it will help ensure a satisfying experience, increase the longevity of the unit, and prevent possible issues/damage that can result from misuse. This information in this section will cover machine set up and basic use. To start, the video below provides supplemental start-up information for the material covered in this section:

| − | ===Bean Compatibility===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Before going into the set up of the machine it's best to review this topic because of its importance. The most important thing to understand about Super-Automatic machines is that they do not accept oily, caramelized, or flavored beans. The video below discusses what beans are compatible, and what beans are not:

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===First Time Use===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The machine manual provides a thorough walk-through of the set-up of the unit, but there's so much information it can be mystifying. In this section we will walk you through the most important points of the machine setup.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Initial Setup/Priming====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you’re running into issues having your machine prime, you will want to follow these steps to help get the machine primed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | #With the machine off, press and hold the top left button (espresso) and the bottom right button (menu) at the same time and power on the machine. This should put you in programming mode.
| + | |
| − | #Once the machine has come up and displays FW at the top, you can release the buttons.
| + | |
| − | #From here, you will press the middle power/standby button 4 times to get to the valve/pump test screen. It should display EV in the top left, and PUMP in the top right.
| + | |
| − | #From this screen we can now manually run the pump on the machine. Place a cup under the steam arm, and press the button on the top left (espresso) - you should see EV1 OFF switch to EV1 ON. Once it displays EV1 ON, you can press the top right button (steam), to run the pump. It may take a few seconds, but water should now come out of the steam wand.
| + | |
| − | #Rinse and repeat the process of turning on and off the pump for a few seconds. This should force water to be run through the machine.
| + | |
| − | #Once completed or run thoroughly, turn the machine off and back on to exit programming mode. Check to see if the error has cleared.
| + | |

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Beans/Grinder Set-Up====
| + | |
| − | After the machine has been successfully primed it is important to set the grinder for initial use. 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 off 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. The magnet should be placed in the socket pictured below in order to trip the sensor: [[File:GAGGIA ANIMA Magnet Socket.jpg|200px|thumbnail|center|Place the magnet in the socket circled in red.]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | #For initial use the grinder should be set to the coarsest grind setting, which will be the largest number/dot on the grinder knob. Once the dial is set you can add the beans in; make sure to only add dry beans as prescribed in the [[#Bean Compatibility|Bean Compatibility]] section. Since the grinder is being adjusted to a coarser setting the grinder does not need to be running.
| + | |
| − | #Set the aroma to the maximum setting using the aroma adjustment button. This increases how much the grinder grinds each time. This will help the grinder mechanism fill with beans/grounds faster for the next step.
| + | |
| − | #Next choose one of the brewing options. The first few shots of the machine may come out watery/weak -- this is to be expected since the beans need to feed into the grinder, and the bypass chamber needs to fill. Depending on the machine/type of bean used it can take up to 5-10 attempts.
| + | |
| − | #Once shots are pouring through consistently then settings can be adjusted. Adjustments are covered in the next section.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Drink Adjustment==== | + | |
| − | The machine is now ready to brew for drinks, but the startup settings may not match the drink you are trying to brew. For the demonstration purposes this section will walk through brewing a single shot espresso from the machine.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | #Set the machine to the three bean aroma setting using the aroma/preground button. This full aroma setting is typically best for espresso extraction, but can be lowered if the coffee is too strong.
| + | |
| − | #Adjust the fineness dial down to the finest grind setting, which is the smallest dot on the unit. As discussed in the previous section, adjustments in the finer direction should be made gradually. Adjust the grinder down 1 dot at a time, brewing a shot in between each adjustment. This prevents clogging/damage to the unit.
| + | |
| − | #Most Super-Automatic machines come programmed to 1.5-2 oz. for the espresso option despite being single shot machines. For best results we suggest reprogramming the shot size to 1 oz. Shot sizes can be easily reprogrammed on this unit by pressing and holding the drink button you would like to reprogram. Hold the button for at least 5 seconds until the grinder activates and then let go. The machine will indicate it is in programming mode on the screen. Use a measuring device to measure the liquid volume being dispensed. Once you have 1 oz. in the measuring device press the checkmark (aroma/preground) button to stop the shot and save the new option.
| + | |
| − | #One really important thing to consider for this machine is that it uses a smart grinder. Smart grinders make gradual adjustments to how the beans are ground and how much coffee is dosed each shot. After an adjustment is made the machine will typically take 10-15 shots for best results. The grinder will make gradual changes based on the new adjustment to improve the flavor of the coffee each time. For this same reason constant adjustments should not be made to the machine, as the smart grinder will not have enough time to respond to the adjustments.
| + | |
| − | #The video below discusses how to adjust for other types of drinks. The general rule of thumb is that the more liquid volume passed through the grinds the coarser the grind should be set in order to get a balanced extraction. {{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U3o9jMvI3g|480|center}}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Puck Consistency===
| + | |
| − | A large misconception is that super-automatic machines should have a dry coffee puck after the machine is finished brewing. While this is true of other styles of espresso machine, this is not true of a super-automatic unit. Super-automatic machines utilize heat and pressure as part of the brewing process, which is key to espresso brewing. The machine achieves this through a device called a brew unit. The brew unit uses a similar but different brewing process to a semi-automatic or prosumer style machine. As a result the pucks will not always come out firm and dry. They may come out muddy or broken. This is perfectly normal; the machine will still produce a good extraction that contains crema and tastes good.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Bypass Doser===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you plan on using the bypass doser function on the machine to brew with pre-ground coffee there are a few things to consider for the best brewing experience:
| + | |
| − | #The bypass doser will only accept 8-9 grams of coffee at a time. The scoop that comes with the machine is merely for transferring coffee grinds, it is not a measurement tool. To prevent overfilling the bypass doser we suggest using a level scoop, and then taking a large pinch out of it. A little bit less than a full scoop is the perfect amount.
| + | |
| − | #Make sure to use the aroma button to activate the preground mode before beginning the brew, otherwise the machine will also grind coffee, which will result in too much coffee going into the brew unit and the machine will abort the brew.
| + | |
| − | #If the coffee is ground too coarsely the resulting shot is going to taste sour, weak or watery. Coarsely ground coffee also does not compact well, so the machine may dump the coffee if the grind is to coarse. Coffee ground for espresso should be slightly finer than table sugar or sand.
| + | |
| − | #Alternatively it is also possible to have coffee that is ground too fine. Extremely fine grinds can result in little or no flow from the machine, and very bitter shots. Coffee that is ground too finely can cause blockages in the system that can only be resolved through deep cleaning or a repair.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <strong>Do not</strong> add whole beans, or entire bags of preground coffee into this chamber. It can cause irreversible damage to the machine's brewing assembly.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | One useful trick the the bypass function allows for is that you can do a quick rinse of the brew circuit by simply running a bypass cycle and not adding any preground coffee. This will let plain water flow through the brew circuit which will remove old coffee flavors, oils, and grounds. You may want to do this if you've recently switched beans to remove some of the old flavors.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Brew Unit/Pump Noises===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When Super-Automatic machines are in operation the brew unit will make a few different noises which are normal. The brew unit will make several loud clicking noises through the duration of the brewing cycle. These loud clicking noises are perfectly normal and will not harm the machine. The brew unit function is monitored by sensors to prevent it from being overloaded, so it cannot break itself apart.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The brew unit can also make squeaking noises during its operation. The squeaking could be from o-rings sealing on the brew unit, or the brew unit parts sliding along the tracks. If you are hearing more squeaking than normal it may be a sign that the brew unit needs to be cleaned and lubricated. Some squeaking is also normal on very new units as there are o-rings/seals that need some time to wear in.{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oGA5g8jWfc|480|center}}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When the pump of the machine activated for brewing, refilling, and hot water dispensing it is going to make a loud humming noise. The machine utilizes a vibration style pump. This style pump produces high pressures despite being compact. The pump achieves this through rapid vibration of internal parts, which produces a loud humming noise.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Mavea Intenza Filter===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Once set-up has been fully completed the filter can be installed. Installing the filter beforehand could cause the machine to become vapor locked and require manual priming. Follow the instructions on the filter packaging before installing it. Within the machine menu is an option for activating and installing the filter. If you use this activation menu option for the filter the machine will automatically remind you when the filter needs to be replaced. Instructions for activating this function can be found in the machine manual. The filter's packaging instructions will indicate the filter needs to be activated by soaking in water before it is installed. If the machine gives a priming error when the filter is installed simply remove the filter and soak in warm water upside down for at least an hour and then reinstall it.
