6 ADVICE ON CHOICE OF
COFFEE
Practically any type of ground coffee on
the market can be used with this

The coffee flow should be constant and
should not drip.
The speed of the coffee flow can be
regulated by changing the dosage, the
fineness of the grinding and/or by how
heavily you tamp down the coffee in the
filter.
