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 pres- surized lter holder, without dripping. The co ee brewing speed can be modi ed by slightly chang- ing the amount of co ee in the lter and/or using a di erent co ee grind. GAGGIA recommends using ESE single-dose co ee pods for a tasty co ee and easier cleaning and preparing.• 20 •
