7 TIPS FOR CHOOSING COFFEE

As a general rule, any type of coff ee available on the market
can be used.
However, coff ee is a natural product and its fl avour changes
according to its origin and blend; it is therefore a good idea to
try diff erent types of coff ee in order to fi nd the most suited to
your personal taste.
For optimal results, we recommend using espresso machine
blends.
As a rule, coff ee should always come out of the fi lter holder
regularly and without dripping.
The speed of coff ee brewing can be modifi ed by slightly chang-
ing the amount of coff ee in the fi lter, the degree of grind and/
or how the coff ee is tamped in the fi lter.
