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 best results, we recommend using blends which are
expressly indicated for espresso coff ee machines. Coff ee
should always be dispensed by the pressurized portafi lter
without 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 CAPPUCCINATORE IS POSITIONED
OVER THE DRIP TRAY.
