Here are some recommendations for making the most of your machine and producing
quality coffees:
• The quality of the water has a huge impact on the quality of the aromas. Limescale and
chlorine can alter the taste of your coffee. We recommend that you use the Claris Aqua
Filter System cartridge, or slightly mineralised water to preserve all the aromas of your
coffee.
• To prepare ristretto, espresso and coffee recipes, we recommend that you use pre-heated
(by running under hot water) tulip shaped porcelain cups, which are the correct size for
the size of drink you want. For your cappuccino, latte and hot milk recipes, we recommend
that you use thick glass cups for a delicious result.
• Roasted coffee beans can lose their flavour if they are not protected. We recommend that
you use the quantity of beans required for the next four to five days. The quality of coffee
beans varies and whether you like them or not is a matter of personal taste; however, we
recommend that you use arabica rather than robusta coffee beans. It will probably take
several attempts to find the coffee beans that you prefer.
Finally, we recommend that you do not use oily or caramelised beans, which can damage
the machine.
• The quality and fineness of the ground beans will affect the aromas and quality of the
cream. The finer the ground beans the creamier the cream. The grounding should be
adjusted to the drink desired: fine for ristretto and espresso and coarser for coffee.
• You can use pasteurised or UHT milk, skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole milk, straight
from the fridge (7°C). The use of special milks (microfiltered, unpasteurised, fermented,
enriched, etc.) can produce less satisfactory results, in particular in terms of the quality
of the froth and these are therefore not recommended.
