• Always use good quality water.

• With the pod adapter : only use espresso pods (E.S.E.

compatible pods). Most recognized coffee brands propose E.S.E.

• With the ground coffee adapter : Only use coffee grounded for espresso (very ne grinds). The coffee grind differs from one brand to the other and explains the variety in quality. Do not hesitate to make tests by changing the quantity of coffee, the coffee grind you use in the ground coffee adapter, and how hard you tamp the coffee. Thus, you dene your espresso yourself. A grind, which is too ne and compact, has a very long brewing time and gives a very strong espresso. On the other hand, too coarse a grind, which is not tamped, has a very short brewing time, thus reducing the strength of the espresso.

• We remind you that a good espresso is obtained with approximately 7 grams of coffee, a brewing time of around 25 seconds and a water temperature of between 90 and 95°C.

• Take care of the temperature of the cups. We advise you to warm the cup up rst by pouring hot water into the cup then remove it and prepare your espresso.
