Secrets for preparing a good coffee
• Use good quality coffee which has been
properly ground. You can also use
weak single measures and ESE type
hard single measures
• Pre-heat the filter and the cups.
• Use good quality water.
• As coffee is a natural product, the
flavour will vary according to its origin,
mixture and degree of toasting. Try
different mixtures of special coffee for
espresso coffee machines until you find
the one which best suits your taste.
• Keep open packets of coffee in a
container in the fridge.
• Put an appropriate quantity of coffee in
the filter and press it down properly.
• A small variation in the measure of
coffee and in the degree of grinding, as
well as pressing it down more or less
will alter the intensity of the coffee and
its aroma.
• The greater the quantity of coffee, the
finer it is ground and the better it is
packaged, the slower the coffee
machine will dispense it. If the coffee
comes out very quickly, change the
type of coffee and use one which is
finer ground.
• The coffee should come out evenly and
not in drips.
