Important to know......
1. The taste of your coffee depends on the characteristics
of the beans from which it is made, the type of bean,
where it was grown and processed. The coffee beans
that are roasted for a longer period of time and at higher
temperatures will be much darker in colour.Darker beans
will produce a richer cup of coffee than the lightly-roasted
beans.
2. A variety of dark roasts are available from which you
can choose to brew your espresso. Each of these roasts
is a blend of coffee beans that are roasted at a specific
temperature producing a specific type of flavour.There are
decaffeinated beans that have up to 98% of the caffeine
content removed. The next time you purchase coffee for
your espresso maker, experiment with one of the many
kinds of coffee being sold. You may just find that it tastes
better than the blend you have been using.
3. A fine "espresso grind" for pump-driven machines must be
used. Be sure to ask for this when buying coffee or when
having beans ground. Do not use a blade-type grinder
because it makes too much coffee dust and produces an
irregular grind.
4. The mark of real espresso is its dark color, rich taste and
the light brown, natural froth called "crema" in Italian.
5. Cappuccino is simply a combination of espresso and hot,
frothy milk. Cappuccino is usually topped with cinnamon,
nutmeg or cocoa powder.
6. Espresso Coffee should be served immediately after it is
made.
7. Espresso is served in 2 to 2 ½ oz. demitasse cups. A 4
or 6 oz. cup or glass is used for cappuccino
8. Ideally, coffee beans should be ground immediately
before using. Remember, it must be an "espresso grind"
for pump-driven espresso machines.
9. It's best to store ground coffee or beans in an airtight
container in the freezer of your refrigerator. Ground coffee
tends to absorb food odours.
Warning! Never brew coffee when the steam
function is on, as the temperature is too high and
there is a risk of burns.
