6 TIPS FOR CHOOSING COFFEE
As a general rule any type of co ee available on the market can
be used. However, co ee is a natural product and its avour
changes according to its origin and blend; it is therefore a good
idea to try di erent types of co ee in order to nd the most
suited to your personal taste.
For optimal results, we recommend using espresso machine
blends. As a rule, co ee should always come out of the
pressurized lter holder, without dripping.
The co ee brewing speed can be modi ed by slightly changing
the amount of co ee in the lter and/or using a di erent co ee
grind.
Saeco recommends using ESE single-dose co ee pods for a
tasty co ee and easier cleaning and preparing.
