6 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;
it is therefore a good idea to try different types of coffee
in order to fi nd the most suited to your personal taste.
For optimal results, however, we recommend using
espresso machine blends. As a rule, Coffee should
always come out of the portafi lter without any dripping.
The speed of coffee dispensing can be modifi ed by
slightly changing the amount of coffee in the fi lter and/or
by using a different coffee grind.
Saeco recommends using single-dose coffee pods
marked ESE for a tasty coffee and easier cleaning and
preparing.
