Great coffee is not a secret!
Together we can make a difference!
Make great coffee every time
- Grind the beans
For a strong espresso you typically need quite finely ground beans, makes sure the grind is consistent throughout.
- Buy Quality FRESHLY roasted beans
Beans roasted longer than 30 days ago will have lost much of their flavour.
- Set the espresso machine to a low heat
Don’t scorch those beans, the pressure is more important than how hot the water is.
- Extract a small shot of espresso
The Biggest mistake most people makes is over extracting their shots. This creates a bitter taste.
- Sit back and enjoy your coffee
Savour the flavour, the aromas and the whole experience.
