YES, the type of beans you use mattter. The very first thing you need to consider when you start using a superautomatic espresso machine is the type of beans you will be using.  Two types of beans to avoid at all costs are flavoured beans and super oily beans. 

Using beans that are flavoured will forever compromise the taste of coffee your machine produces.  If you use oily beans, various components of the machine will become sticky and gummy. This will impact the quality of the coffee it produces and overtime parts will need to be replaced.

Make sure beans are not overly roasted, which produces those oils which will cause havoc.  

Our blends "Miscela" in Itialian, are roasted to be used in all types of espresso machines but it is specifically formulated to work in superautomatics.

Check out our blog for more information.

Coffee is by nature a very oily substance.

Over time, coffee oils accumulate inside of your machine to form a rancid residue. This residue is responsible for the acrid smell you may recognize coming from a poorly maintained machine.

Unfortunately, this residue causes more than just bad odour.

If allowed to develop, residue inside of your machine will eventually clog its filters and tubes and cause it to malfunction.

Well before your machine clogs or you even notice the signs of neglect, the stale residue lining the inside of your machine will begin to affect the taste of the fresh coffee you prepare.

There are numerous studies which highlight the benefits of drinking coffee.  Here is what the scientific research has concluded about drinking coffee.  It:

Espresso can be served at any time of day.  Presentation is everything so be sure to serve your espresso in a porcelain cup that holds no more than 90ml of liquid.  These cups are sometimes referred to as a demi-tasse.

Cups should be heated as an espresso is only 60ml of liquid and it will quickly get cold if served in an unheated cup. 

You can heat cups by placing them in a cup warmer, or fill them with water and heat in a microwave or fill with hot water from your espresso machine and wait about 30 seconds before making a coffee.  Of course, be sure to throw out the water before you make an espresso.
