HOW TO PREPARE QUALITY ESPRESSO

AND CAPPUCCINO AT HOME

THE COFFEE

The coffee should be freshly ground and dark roasted. You may want to try a French or Italian roast. Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavor for 7 – 8 days, provided it is stored in an airtight container and in a cool, dark area. Do not store in a refrigerator or freezer. Whole beans are recommended to be ground just before use. Coffee beans stored in an airtight container will keep up to 4 weeks before they begin to lose their flavor.

THE GRIND

This is a vital step in the espresso making process and takes practice. The coffee must be of a fine grind.

The correct grind should look like salt.

If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under pressure. These grinds look like powder and feel like flour when rubbed between fingers.

If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too fast, preventing a full- flavored extraction.

Be sure to use a quality grinder for uniform consistency. Oval shaped coffee grinders are not recommended because the grind is not consistent.
