6 TIPS FOR CHOOSING COFFEE
As a general rule any type of coee available on the market
can be used. However, coee is a natural product and its avor
changes according to its origin and blend. Therefore it is a good
idea to try dierent types, in order to nd the most suited to
your personal taste.
For best results, we recommend using blends which are made
especially for espresso coee machines. Coee should always
be dispensed by the Portalter without a "dripping" eect.
The speed of coee dispensing can be modied by slightly
changing the amount of coee in the lter and/or using a
dierent coee grind.
