cups and coffee
CUP SELECTION
Select your cup according to the following chart:
Drink
Espresso
Cappuccino
Latte
To use a smaller cup, like a demitasse cup, you need to extend the height adjustment tray (fig. F) and place
the cup onto it.
COFFEE
The coffee should be freshly ground and dark roasted—French or Italian roast is ideal for espresso. Pre-
ground coffee will retain its flavour for 7-8 days if stored in an airtight container and in a cool, dark place.
Coffee beans will retain their flavour for up to 4 weeks if stored in the same way. Never refrigerate or freeze
coffee beans or ground coffee.
Grinding coffee correctly is vital to making great espresso and takes practice. Use a quality grinder for best
results.
• Correctly ground coffee has the consistency of table salt.
• Too fine and the water won't flow through the coffee correctly. Avoid grinding the beans to a powdery,
flour-like consistency.
• Too coarse and the water will flow through the coffee too fast giving a weak flavour and pale colour.
