Another question: the panarello is no longer frothing. Milk boils and bubbles and doesn't expand. I cleaned the wand, including the little hole.

Gaggia Titanium Super-Automatic Espresso Machine
I have to confess that I was apprehensive when I bought this item - my first automatic espresso machine. Could I learn all the skills and techniques I might need ? Dan (the man!) at WholeLatteLove recommended it to me based on my needs and preferences. He answered all my many questions before I...

Are all beans in the light to medium (and medium-dark) roast range non-oily? It seems that the extended roasting process is what brings the oils to the surface of the bean. I just want to be sure before I start experimenting with store-bought beans. Don't want to mess up the machine.

techkathy In general light or medium roast beans do have a lower oil content.

I like to have both espressos and regular coffees using this machine. How many ounces is a "caffe lungo" pre-programmed size on this machine? I looked at the manual and couldn't find anywhere.

techkathy The "caffe lungo" is set to about 6 ounces. But you can reprogram the water volume to whatever you wish.

Why does the screen say "dredgedrawer full" *after* I've emptied it out? I have to open everything up a second time, to reset the message.

techkathy The message is based on a cup counter. The Titanium (and many other machines) count the number of coffees brewed in order to signal when the dreg drawer needs to be emptied. The cup counter is only reset while the machine is powered on. So you must remove the drawer when the unit is still on in order for the machine to clear the message.

Loving my new Titanium! I've been using the cappucinatore for the past few days. As of last night, it's sucking up the milk very slowly, and dispensing only warm milk, not froth. OTOH, the steam is billowing all around the cup. What am I doing wrong? I've been cleaning it between uses by running 1/2 cup of water through it, instead of milk.

techkathy There is a small rubber grommet under the cap on the cappuccinatore that creates a seal (just like on the regular pannarello wand). Are you missing this piece? It is a black rubber ring.

LisaMB Figured it out! The pin was firmly in place. I read here somewhere about using the pin to regulate the flow. So, I started playing with it, and out poured beautifully frothed milk! Meanwhile, I improved upon my pannarello skills...
Just unboxed my new gaggia titanium - so excited! Set on finest grain and most coffee volume, but i am surprised how weak the shots are on anything but the "small" pulls. What can I do? Anybody recommend strong beans that aren't bitter?

techkathy What grind setting (number) is the machine set at? If you are making a larger cup of coffee you can do a couple of things. Make the grind setting a little coarser. It will allow the coffee to extract the entire pull. You can also cut the water volume down and brew a double. Lessening the water volume will make the coffee more concentrated.

I just got a titanium. I raised the temp to high, the fourth of the five choices, from medium, the middle of the five. My wife thought that made the coffee taste more bitter. I guess if I raise the output temperature, which I like, that raises the coffee grind soaking/brewing temperature too. Is that true? Does that make the coffee more bitter? A workmate suggested I set the temp to Low and just put the cup in the microwave after, for the least bitter coffee. What's the relationship between the five temperature settings and the coffee taste/bitterness?

A A Robert,
The taste of the coffee is going to rely on a lot of things. The beans, the grind, the temp, the extraction and so on. The best thing about the titanium is that it has so many features, you really can fine tune the drink to taste how you like it! One very under used step is pre heating the cup. When hot coffee hits a cold cup, it gets shocked and can produce a bitter coffee. Try preheating your cup (Either with the active cup warmer, with hot water, or in the microwave) then brewing your shot into that. Let us know how it goes!

Today I made my first attmept at making an Americano, initially the water came out warm not hot, normal? My machine is set to the second highest setting. Secondly the water would flow for a few seconds and then sort of sputter. Again normal or fixable?

A A The water in the machine at first might come out warm, as there is still water in the system after the boiler. That's partially why the machine sputters at first. After a few seconds, the water will start streaming out. Give it a try, and let us know!
