Note for cleaning: Keep the filter of the pressurized portafilter clean by removing it from its seat and washing it with drinking water (Fig. 17). Wash the adapter and the pin of the portafilter, then wash the portafilter itself. 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 flavour changes according to its origin and blend; it is therefore a good idea to try different types of coffee in order to find 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 portafilter without any dripping. The speed of coffee dispensing can be modified by slightly changing the amount of coffee in the filter 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.

It is necessary to descale the machine every 3-4 months of use and/or when you notice a reduction in the water delivery. If you want to descale the machine yourself, you can use a non-toxic and/or non-harmful descaling product for coffee machines (commercially available). We recommend using Saeco descaling solution. Warning! Do not use vinegar as a descaling solution.
