6 CHOOSING THE TYPE OF
COFFEE - TIPS
Generally speaking, you can use any type of
commercially available coffee.
However, coffee is a natural product and its
flavour will vary depending on where it comes
from and the blend used; it is thus a good idea
to try out different types until you find the one
that best suits your personal taste.
For best results you should use blends specifically
prepared for espresso coffee machines.
Coffee should flow out smoothly from the
"Crema" filter holder without dripping.
The speed of flow can be adjusted by slightly
changing the amount of coffee in the filter and/
or using coffee with a finer or coarser grind.
