Don't Ruin Your New Investment

Regardless of which machine you choose, both rely on internal grinders that are sensitive to oily beans. To keep your Miele or DeLonghi out of the repair shop, stick to these non-oily selections.

A very nice medium roast delivering a smooth, balanced flavor profile. Perfect for authentic Italian-style espresso with subtle fruity and floral notes.

100% Arabica, Florals and fruit. This fragrant medium roast offers a sweet and aromatic finish.

Lavazza Qualita Rossa
The wake-up call. Because it has Robusta beans mixed in, it has way more caffeine than the others. Great for milk drinks, but can be a bit harsh for straight espresso.

Lavazza Qualita Rossa

A blend of Arabica and Robusta. Rich, chocolatey, and full-bodied.

Lavazza Crema E Aroma

The CM 5310 uses a Steel Conical, whereas the Dinamica Plus features a Steel Conical. While both are high-quality internal systems, they are sealed components. To prevent clogging and avoid expensive repairs, we strongly recommend using non-oily, medium-roast beans in both machines.
