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.
