GaggiMate profile selection guide
Choose a GaggiMate profile for your coffee
Roast level is a useful starting point, not a guarantee. Check machine compatibility, profile type, grinder, dose and the author’s dial-in notes.
GaggiMate profiles tagged for light roasts
Light roasts often benefit from profiles that support longer contact, higher extraction or flow-focused approaches. These profiles appear because their authors or uploaders selected the matching community roast tag; this is not a universal quality ranking.

Filter 3.0
I’ve all tried to make good filter coffee in an espresso machine. It makes sense, right? Every espresso machine provides access to hot water, a spray head, a filter basket, and usually automatic volumetric dosing. Unfortunately, the flow and pressure provided…

Automatic Pro
Automatic Pro is a profile family built to automate puck saturation and extraction with clever phase stops. Instead of creating different profiles for different beans, it aims to let taste be shaped mainly through the classic variables: preparation, grind siz…

GaggiMate profiles tagged for medium roasts
Medium roasts cover a broad range of styles, so check the intended ratio, temperature and pressure or flow strategy. These profiles appear because their authors or uploaders selected the matching community roast tag; this is not a universal quality ranking.
Clever Lever (Automatic Pro v3)
Only works with a current GaggiMate NIGHTLY version! Experimental profile that uses the new weight, or rather water-pumped, ramp style. To determine the range in which the transition takes place, I analyzed the main extraction phase of the Spring Lever varian…

GaggiMate profiles tagged for dark roasts
Dark roasts commonly suit lower-temperature or more traditional starting points, but the bean and desired taste still matter. These profiles appear because their authors or uploaders selected the matching community roast tag; this is not a universal quality ranking.

What should I change first after choosing a profile?
Keep the profile fixed for the first test and adjust the grind to reach a sensible flow and ratio. Record and taste the shot, then change one meaningful variable at a time.
