Use the lid to measure the amount of spagetti. For one portion use water level 1 and cook for 12/13 minutes.

Here's what I did. I use a water timer. It's noting more than a valve that turns the faucet on and off per program. The system is set for line pressure.Probably 40-60 psi is the industry std. The drippers come in a few different flow rates. You determine the time based on the amt of water you want.If it drips 1gal/hr and you want 2 gals of water in the pot, set timer for 2 hrs ON. The drip rates are estimates, so run it into a jar for 15 mins or so and get your own number. I ordered more drippers. Works pretty good. I suggest a water timer.

I didn't get a video or manual either. I called the company and they quickly sent me the manual, however the video wasn't available. Plug in fill using water bottle. Make sure you use distilled water. turn on using both buttons and wait till lights turn on for use. makes sure you tighten cap before turning on but not too tight. to fill water open large cap. Green light indicates it is ready to use and yellow light means it needs more water. If it ever turns off on you during use check that hoses are properly connected it happened to me once. during use if you feel there isn't enough pressure just give it a few minutes to build more pressure, you will see the needles move. The small dial to the left of the large cap for filling water is used to regulate how much steam is being used. adjust to your needs.

It should only take a minute or two. If yours doesn't come on then you may have a bad sensor or switch (bulb). Honestly, I don't pay attention to ANY of the "ready" lights on the Gaggia. The ready indicator for the pump is too fast and I find that the machine likes to sit for a good 5-10 minutes before brewing to fully heat up. I also ignore the steam indicator, as it also is far too fast. I give my machine about 3 minutes to fully heat the steam in the boiler and purge it once every minute or so to eliminate any unwanted water in the wand. I have had much better results this way, especially after installing the Sylvia steam wand.

No instructions? Wow! If you had gotten them, you would have found them a bit funny; the translations are a bit strange English. Accompanying the unit, there should have been a small filler container. This should be filled with tap water up to about two thirds volume. Add to this, two or three drops of an essential oil. Open the unit by grasping the base and twisting the decorated top counter clockwise. Pour the liquid from the small container into the receptacle in the unit and return the top. There are two black dots at the base of each. When these lineup up, the unit is properly closed. To start the process, press on the left button near the bottom of the unit. Press several times until a blue red or green light comes on. When the light is on, press and hold the right button. A small light will come on at the 30 minute point. Press the button again and choose 30 minutes, 60 minutes or the other two. When you let go, the fogging should start. Experiment with this process if need be. Just remember, do not tilt the unit while there is water inside it. To change to another scent, discard any small amount of liquid remaining inside the unit, wipe it out with some tissue or cloth. Clean the filler cup thoroughly. Enjoy.

My tap water is 7.5 ph and about 130 ppm. with AN jungle micro (200ml) and Bloom (400ml) with a 40 gallon ebb flow hydro setup in Coco Coir, I usually get a drop from 6.0 down to 5.8 with a 5 gram dose (the small scoop is 5g, the big scoop is 15g). I believe your dosage will vary based on the type of nutes and density of the nutes (I'm showing 725ppm after adding the nutes). I strongly suggest adding the powder to a mixing bottle (I use an old PH down bottle). Let the powder dissolve for a few minutes in the water bottle, shaking every now and then before adding to your nute tank. PPP

I never found instructions either. I have had the product a year and I believe, I had to go to the hardware store and buy the connection which is a female connection to the unit and a female connection to your hose. This connection is one unit and was not hard to find. There are two inlets on the back and you should be filling the unit via the one on top. I never figured a way for the foot nozzle not to leak so I tightened it to its watertight point which means it now faces up nearly 180 degrees from where it should be in order to be useful.

Actually, there is additional assistance to getting to the "perfect" 25-second shot. Grind and tamp are important, please don't misunderstand. But there is another piece of gear that can help: La Marzocco Strada portafilter baskets.These are precisely engineered so that the holes in the basket are the same size, and they are perfectly centered in the basket. The holes also appear to be smaller than those you see in most portafilter baskets, and that's going to slow the water flow down.Not cheap - around a drawback - but worth every penny, IMO.

The instructions do not indicate the exact amount, but I believe you will need more than that. Probably around 20 litre. Thanks

I'm not sure. I would empty the water out and back track the instructions. I know it's a pain but I honestly can't remember !

you need to add water each time...6-8-10 ounces, depending on what your cup will hold. hope this helps.

Good morning! You will indeed need to add water. Volkswagen recommends a 50/50 split. I hope that helps! Thanks for your question!!

Tap water, 1L, 5 minutes to full boil, timed with stopwatch. Doubted my results after seeing other answers, repeated with fresh water...same result.

I have the same question. It seems like the 1:2 ratio (rice ; water) doesn't work. There was a mess of steamed out water around. It's weird there is no clear instruction in the instructions.

Hi Lisa- I am doing the same project, and plan to use this: http://www.amazon.com/genaric-Italian-Bottling-Spigot/dp/B0064OE2NM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1402488554&sr=8-6&keywords=spigot

I can't tell you how much water to add, as I don't measure. I use about 1 1/2 - 2 cups of masa. I then use my hand to mix warm water ( warm some up on stove or microwave). Just Luke warm. Mix by hand until it holds together when you squeeze it. You can tell then is it is too wet of dry. Then like the other post said, cut open a ziplock bag or I use a plastic shopping bag to cover both plates of the press. Put in a ball of masa, golf ball size ( 65 grams). Press firmly. Peel back top piece of plastic. Then slowly peel back bottom in your open palm and plop it in your very hot pan. Also when they are done put them on a plate covered with towels. This will keep them moist so you can bend them without breaking.

I always fill the bottom part with water, right to the top of the pressure valve, that`s about as much as it holds. From my experience in Italy, a cup of espresso could be anywhere from 1.5-2.0oz.
