6 tIPS For CHooSInG CoFFee
As a general rule any type of coffee available on the
market can be used. However, coffee is a natural product
and its flavor changes according to its origin and blen-
ding. It is therefore a good idea to try different types, in
order to find the most suited to your personal taste.
For best results, we recommend using blends which
are expressly indicated for espresso coffee machines.
Coffee should always be dispensed by the portafilter
without dripping. The speed of coffee dispensing can be
modified by slightly changing the amount of coffee in the
filter and/or using a different coffee grind.
