To get the most out of your machine and obtain good quality coffees, here is some advice:
• The quality of your water significantly influences the quality of the flavours. Limescale and chlorine can
alter the taste of your coffee. We recommend that you use the Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge or low
mineral-content water to preserve all of the flavours of your coffee.
• When preparing exclusively coffee recipes, we recommend that you use tulip-shaped porcelain cups,
preheated beforehand (by running them under hot water, for instance), and of a size appropriate to the
quantity you want to make. For your milk-based preparations, we recommend that you use thick glass
cups for an appetising result.
• Roasted coffee beans can lose their flavour if they are not protected. We recommended that you use
the amount of beans required for your consumption for the next 4-5 days. Although the quality of coffee
beans is subjective and varied, we do recommend that you use arabica rather than robusta.
• Lastly, please remember that oily and caramelised coffee beans must be avoided, as they can damage
your machine.
• The quality and fineness of the grinding determine the strength of the flavours and the quality of the
cream. The finer the beans are ground, the richer the cream. Indeed, grinding should be adapted to the
drink desired: fine for ristretto and espresso, coarser for coffee.
• You can use pasteurised or UHT, skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole milk, straight from the refrigerator
(7°C). Using special milks (microfiltered, raw, fermented, enriched, etc.) or vegetable milks (rice, almond
milk, etc.) can produce less satisfactory results especially when it comes to the quantity and quality of
the froth.
