6 ADVICE ON CHOICE OF
COFFEE
Practically any type of ground coffee on the
market can be used with this machine.
Coffee is a natural product and its taste
varies, depending on its origin and blend.
It is therefore advisable to try a number of
different types to discover your own perso-
nal preference. For best results use blends
specifically ground for espresso machines.
The coffee flow should be constant and
should not drip.
The speed of the coffee flow can be regulated
by changing the dosage, the fineness of the
grinding and/or by how heavily you tamp
down the coffee in the filter.
BEFORE USING THE HOT WATER/
STEAM JET, MAKE SURE THAT THE
STEAM TUBE (“PANNARELLO”) IS
POSITIONED OVER THE DRIP TRAY.
