Bialetti CF92 Gioia Plus Capsule Coffee Machine

Espresso Bar Quality Coffee, At Home

The Bialetti CF92 Gioia Plus is a compact Italian capsule coffee machine built for coffee lovers who want genuine espresso-bar quality without the size or complexity of a full bean-to-cup machine. Its robust, space-saving body brings over 100 years of Bialetti's Italian coffee heritage to a single button press.

Built Around the Caffè d'Italia Capsule System

The Gioia Plus is designed exclusively around Bialetti's patented Caffè d'Italia capsules. Each capsule contains 7g of Certified Italian Espresso (Espresso Italiano Certificato) — noticeably more coffee than the 5g found in a standard Nespresso-style pod. The aluminium capsules preserve flavour over a long shelf life and are widely recyclable at kerbside.

Key Features

A 2.0 extraction system delivers a creamy, velvety espresso every time. Brewing size is fully programmable, so different users can save their own preferred coffee size. Smart warning lights let you know when the waste bin needs emptying or the water tank needs topping up, so the machine is always ready to go.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Bialetti Gioia Plus compatible with Nespresso capsules?
No — it's a closed system compatible only with Bialetti's own Caffè d'Italia capsules.

Can you steam milk with the Gioia Plus?
No — it's an espresso capsule system with no built-in steamer. For milky drinks, pair it with a Bialetti manual or electric milk frother.

Both indicator lights are flashing red — why?
This typically happens when a non-official capsule has been used. Switch to an official Bialetti capsule to resolve it.

How do I clean the machine?
Hand wash the drip tray, waste capsule compartment and cup rack regularly, and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Descale every 300 cups or 3 months, whichever comes first.

How do I descale the machine?
Fill the water tank with water and a suitable coffee machine descaler, then put the machine into cleaning mode as per the instructions and allow 20 minutes for the cycle to complete.
