Choosing the right type of coffee
• The coffee should be freshly ground and dark roasted. You might want to try a
French or Italian roast for your espresso. Pre-ground coffee only retains its flavour
for 7-8 days if it is stored in an airtight container in a cool place.
• Do not store coffee in a fridge or freezer.
• We recommend that you grind whole beans only shortly before use. Coffee beans
stored in an airtight container retain their flavour for up to 4 weeks.
Note: Do not use sugar-roasted ground coffee or sugar-roasted coffee beans,
as these can clog the filter and damage the machine. If sugar-roasted coffee is
accidentally used, stop using the machine immediately and take it to an electrician for
servicing.
Choosing the right grind
• The coffee must be finely ground. When ground correctly, the coffee powder should
look like salt.
• If the grinding is too fine, the water cannot flow through the coffee even under
pressure. In this case, the coffee powder looks like powder and feels like flour when
rubbed between your fingers.
• If the grinding is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too quickly,
preventing a full-bodied extraction.
• Make sure you use a quality grinder for an even consistency.
