6. THE CUP

Coffee should always be served in a warm cup, this will keep the coffee hotter for longer and enhance the aroma.

An espresso shot in particular will get cold very quickly if poured into a cold cup. For this reason your Dualit machine comes with its own cup warmer.

Place the cups on the warmer. Alternatively use the hot water function and rinse the cups to warm them.

Dualit also produces cleverly designed stainless steel coffee cups with a double insulated wall to keep your coffee hotter for longer.

THE PERFECT COFFEE

You are looking for an espresso with a 2–3mm crema and a rich, dark brown colour underneath (the exact colour will depend on the bean you have chosen).

It should have a taste that is full of flavour (whether mild and subtle or rich and strong) and should not be bitter. It should stay hot to the bottom of the espresso.

A cappuccino should comprise an espresso topped with steamed milk and a head of froth. The proportions are roughly equal.

The milk should be steamed for long enough to ensure the cappuccino (or latté) is hot when served.

A café latté contains one-third espresso and nearly two-thirds steamed milk, the milk should be fully frothed, giving the latté a more velvety texture.
