Handy tips
We recommend using freshly roasted coffee in accordance with your personal preferences. Ask your
local coffee retailer for advice. Once it is roasted, coffee does not remain fresh for very long. You can
improve the shelf life of your coffee by packaging it well and storing it in the fridge.
Use fresh water; do not leave the water in the device unused for more than 4 days.
Empty and rinse the water tank regularly (once a week). Always switch the device off before removing
the tank for filling or emptying. Always place the device on a flat, stable surface.
Tips on selecting coffee types
Full aroma:
It is best to choose coffees made from pure Arabica beans or those made primarily from Arabica beans.
Hand-roasted coffees are better because they have more complex and finer aromas. For a change of
flavour, try single-origin coffees.
Strong coffee:
Use coffee blends with Robusta beans – those which are not specified as 100% Arabica – or coffee
described as "Italian Roast" or "Italian Coffee".
Fill the portafilter to the top with coffee powder and use the tamper to press the powder down.
