So, you are the happy owner of a coffee/espresso machine. But do you really know
how to get the most out of it? Here are a few handy pointers that should help
you to make the perfect espresso coffee time and time again. Tip 1 - Let Your
Coffee/espresso Machine fully Heat Up The inner workings of your coffee machine
that hold water items like the boiler are classically made of metal. Allowing
this equipment to heat up by turning on your coffee machine at least 10 min
preceding the 1st coffee will make a more steady heat for your coffees. Also use
this time to heat your coffee cups before use, use the steam nozzle in hot water
mode to fill the cups. Some coffee machines have built in cup heaters that take
a few minutes to warm up. Tip 2 - Use Fresh Water With coffee, everything has to
be fresh. Empty out your coffee machine water container every day when you are
making your 1st coffee. You should use filtered water and you will definitely
taste the difference. Using filtered water will also lengthen the life of your
coffee machine; reducing calcification and lime scale build up. Tip 3 - Use
Fresh Coffee beansIf you do not have an automatic coffee machine that has a
grinder built in then you will need to buy a separate one. Every time you use
your coffee machine, only ever grind enough coffee beans for that measure of
coffee. This will give you a glowing creme on top of your coffee or espresso.
Store your beans in the freezer until it's to use them, this will help them to
hold their flavour. Tip 4 - Use The Correct Grind And Correct Tamping Talk to
your coffee supplier about your coffee machine and make sure that he is giving
you the correct ground coffee. If possible use your own grinder to attain the
most favourable fineness. Gently pack your freshly ground coffee into the filter
handle, do not pack to much or press to hard or you won't reach a decent flow
rate. A excellent rule of thumb is that it should take about 25 seconds for 30ml
of coffee to be poured. Tip 5 - Experiment There are so many variables at work
with a coffee machine that you will need to make a lot of coffees to truly
realize the different coffees you can make. The temperature, the beans, the
grind and the flow rate will all give diverse tasting coffees. You will know you
are getting it right when your coffee machine produces a thick golden creme and
a sweet, rich espresso coffee.
