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, however, we recommend using espresso
machine blends. As a rule, Coff ee should always come out of the
portafi lter without any dripping.
The speed of coff ee dispensing can be modifi ed by slightly
changing the amount of coff ee in the fi lter and/or by using a
diff erent coff ee grind.
Saeco recommends using single-dose coff ee pods marked ESE
for a tasty coff ee and easier cleaning and preparing.
BEFORE USING THE HOT WATER/STEAM JET, MAKE
SURE THAT THE STEAM SPOUT (PANNARELLO) IS
POSITIONED OVER THE DRIP TRAY.
