8 Tips for Choosing Coff ee
As a general rule, any type of coff ee available on the market
can be used. However, coff ee is a natural product and its fl a-
vour changes according to its origin and blend; therefore, it is
advisable to try diff erent types of coff ee in order to fi nd out the
blend that best suits your personal tastes.
For optimal results, we recommend using espresso machine
blends. As a rule, coff ee should always come out of the pressur-
ized fi lter holder, without dripping. The coff ee brewing speed
can be modifi ed by slightly changing the amount of coff ee in
the fi lter and/or using a diff erent coff ee grind. Gaggia recom-
mends using ESE single-dose coff ee pods for a tasty coff ee and
easier cleaning and preparing.
