Important note: The lter (24) and the adapter (23) should be kept clean to guarantee perfect results. Clean daily after use. 8 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 a- vour changes according to its origin and blend; therefore, it is advisable to try di erent types of co ee in order to nd out the blend that best suits your personal tastes. For optimal results, we recommend using espresso machine blends. As a rule, cof- fee 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 preparation.
