29. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about

...Coffee

a. Where and how should I store my coffee?

•Ideally coffee beans should be ground just prior to brewing.

•Whole coffee beans stay fresh for approximately two weeks. Store in a dark, airtight container. Do not store in freezer or refrigerator.

•Ground coffee loses flavor from the moment it is ground; be sure to store in a dark, airtight container. Do not store in freezer or refrigerator. Ground coffee has a very high oxidation rate and may take on flavors and aromas from other foods.

b. Should I use dark or light coffee beans?

•In Italy the beans for espresso are roasted to a light to medium color (no oils on the outside). That gives the espresso a rich, strong taste without bitterness.

•In the USA most specialty roasters roast the beans for espresso to a dark to very dark color with more or less oils on the outside. This gives the espresso a more intense and sometimes bitter taste. Many people prefer that type roast when drinking cappuccino or latte since the milk eliminates some or all of the bitterness.

•Try both kinds and see what you like best.

c. Can I use the same coffee for espresso and "crema coffee?"

•Yes, when you brew longer ("Crema coffee") the taste will be less intense. You can also brew an espresso and

then add hot water. This is called a Coffee Americano.

d. Which coffee is better for cappuccino, "French Roast" or "Italian Roast"?

•This is totally up to you. Try it out. Normally the "French Roast" is roasted slightly longer and at a slightly higher temperature giving it a stronger and more bitter taste.

e. Can I use coffee that is not labeled "espresso"?

•Yes you can. Make sure it is "Arabica" coffee or a blend with "Arabica" beans. "Robusta" beans are normally used for drip coffee and have less aroma.

...the Espresso Machine

f. Can I fill other liquids into the water tank, such as milk or sweetened water?

•No, you will destroy the pump and the Thermoblock system.

g. Can I use distilled water?

•Yes, although distilled water is free of important minerals and may give your coffee a different taste. You can also use "reverse osmosis" water.

h. Can I use the machine overseas with a converter?

•We do not recommend it. The machine is designed for 120 volts/ 60Hz. Other voltage and Hz cycles might damage the machine. Also, Capresso's warranty covers the United States only (see chapter 30).
