STORING YOUR COFFEE

Always buy fresh roasted coffee, ideally in the form of beans that you can grind as required. Your coffee will taste better if you use freshly ground beans.

Transfer your beans into an airtight glass or ceramic container with a rubber seal as soon as you get them home. A dark container that protects the beans from daylight is ideal. They need to be protected from air, light, heat and moisture.

Whole beans will keep for fourteen days in an air-tight container or 45 days in the freezer (but you should only take them out of the freezer once – the moment you open the bag and let air get to the coffee, you have compromised the seal and the flavour will start to deteriorate). Divide a big bag of beans into several smaller containers before freezing.

Ground coffee only has a three day shelf-life, so grind only what you need each time. If you like your coffee first thing in the morning, grind your beans the night before and leave them in a sealed container.

ESE PODS

ESE (Easy Serving Espresso) is a simple system to prepare an espresso with individual coffee pods – no measuring, no mess, just great coffee.

The pods comprise a pre-measured dose of roasted, ground and compressed coffee sealed between two sheets of specially designed ESE filter paper.

One pod makes one espresso.

Pods don't need to be stored in the fridge or freezer.

ESE pods come in different

sizes to fit different types of coffee machine. You will need a ESE size 44 pod to fit your Dualit coffee machine.

Look out for the ESE logo on compatable coffee pods.
