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 fl avour changes according to its origin
and blend. Therefore, it is a good idea to try different
types of coffee in order to fi nd the most suited to your
personal taste. For best results, we recommend
using blends which are made especially for espresso
coffee machines. Coffee should always fl ow out of the
portafi lter, and it should not dispense with a dripping
effect. The brewing speed can be modifi ed by slightly
changing the amount of coffee in the fi lter and/or using a
different coffee grind.
When making coffee from pods, Saeco recommends
using single-dose coffee pods marked E.S.E. for a great-
tasting espresso and an easy clean-up.
