Coffee selection
Coffee used in this coffee machine should be freshly ground and deep roasted. It is important to
use only specific ground coffee for espresso coffee machines.
Pre-ground coffee powder can only remain scented for 7 to 8 days unless it is stored in a
sealed container and placed in a cool place. Do not store coffee in the refrigerator or freezer. It
is recommended to grind all coffee beans into powder before use. The fragrance of the coffee
beans stored in the sealed container can be maintained for 4 weeks.
If you are grinding coffee yourself, this step is a very important step in the espresso making
process, coffee must be finely ground.
• Ground coffee should look like salt.
• If powder is too fine, even if it is tamped it may cause the coffee to flow out intermittently.
These ground coffee feels like flour.
• If powder is too thick, water will flow too fast, reducing its flavour.
In order to get a uniform, consistent coffee, make sure to use a high-quality coffee grinder.
Warnings:
- Single or double espressos can be brewed only after finishing preheating.
