HINTS AND TIPS
• Ground coffee does not stay fresh for as long as coffee beans. If you are using ground
coffee, watch expiry dates and buy in small amounts.
• If you are grinding coffee beans, set your grinder to a fine/medium grind, and try to use
the ground coffee within a week of grinding. Very finely ground coffee may cause the
portafilter to overflow.
• Store unused coffee grounds in a cool, dry place. If you open a packet of coffee tightly
reseal it and store in the fridge to maintain freshness.
• To avoid the Digital Espresso Maker overflowing, use less ground coffee when brewing
decaf or flavoured coffee.
• For hotter coffee, pre-heat before brewing.
