Choosing the type of coffee - Making cappuccino
Cleaning note: keep the coffee
filter clean by detaching it from
the "Crema" filter holder and washing
it with drinking water (Fig.16).
6 CHOOSING THE TYPE OF
COFFEE - TIPS
Generally speaking, you can use any type
of commercially available coffee.
However, coffee is a natural product and
its flavour will vary depending on where
it comes from and the blend used; it is
thus a good idea to try out different types
until you find the one that best suits your
personal taste.
For best results you should use blends
specifically prepared for espresso coffee
machines.
Coffee should flow out smoothly from the
"Crema" filter holder without dripping.
The speed of flow can be adjusted by
slightly changing the amount of coffee in
the filter and/or using coffee with a finer
or coarser grind.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
OPERATION INVOLVING THE
RELEASE OF STEAM OR HOT WATER,
MAKE SURE THAT THE STEAM TUBE
("PANNARELLO") IS POSITIONED
OVER THE DRIP TRAY.
