What type of coffee beans should I use for the DeLonghi ECAM550.85.MS?

Use fresh, whole coffee beans for the best flavor. It's recommended to choose medium to dark roast beans, as lighter roasts may not extract well. Ensure the beans are not oily to avoid clogging the grinder.

To improve milk froth quality, use cold, fresh milk with a high protein content. Ensure the frother is clean and free of any blockages. Adjust the froth density settings on the machine for a finer texture.
