Espresso coffee Espresso coffee is richer in aroma and stronger than normal coffee. It is drunk from small preheated espresso cups. Hot water is passed through the ground coffee to obtain this delicious black coffee. You can recognise an espresso by its characteristic aroma and its typical crema. But this requires high pressure and an excellent fresh espresso coffee which has been well roasted and correctly ground. If you cannot buy espresso ground coffee, use a coffee grinder to grind the beans. So as to obtain a sufficient crema with a good colour, it is normal that the flow rate of the coffee is slower than with a filter coffee machine. To guarantee complete success for your espresso, you must also use freshly-drawn water (so that it has not had time to stagnate in the air), without any chlorine odour and at a fairly cold temperature. The coffee must not be ground too fine. It must be slightly granulated. If it is too fine, you risk blocking the grid of the brewing head and the filter. Only use Espresso ground coffee. Do not use any other type of coffee such as filter, cafetiere, instant etc. · As soon as the blue operating control lamp glows continuously, The appliance is ready to operate.
