SOLIS CREMA SL 70
12.0 Useful tips for coffee
12.1 Optimum conditions for good coffee
Good coffee depends not only on the appliance but also on the
water, the blend of coffee, the grinding, the temperature, etc. You
should keep the following tips in mind:
Always use fresh coffee and dark roasts, such as the SOLIS pro-
ducts specially blended for use with espresso machines.
Fresh coffee should always be stored in a cool place. It can be
deep frozen and may be used directly while still cold.
Always have coffee beans ground to espresso grade. If the result is
still not satisfactory, check Point 11.4.
If your local water is very hard, use a
filter such as the SOLIS AQUA-
SELECT.
If you want to get consistently good
coffee without having to clean gro-
unds out of the filter holder all the
time, try using SOLIS portions. They
are practical, clean and always ready
to use.
