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.

Clever Lever (Automatic Pro v3)
