Important to know……

1.The taste of your coffee depends on the characteristics of the beans from which it is made, the type of bean, where it was grown and processed. The coffee beans that are roasted for a longer period of time and at higher temperatures will be much darker in colour.Darker beans will produce a richer cup of coffee than the lightly-roasted beans.

2.A variety of dark roasts are available from which you can choose to brew your espres- so. Each of these roasts is a blend of coffee beans that are roasted at a specific tempe- rature producing a specific type of flavour.There are decaffeinated beans that have up to 98% of the caffeine content removed. The next time you purchase coffee for your espresso maker, experiment with one of the many kinds of coffee being sold. You may just find that it tastes better than the blend you have been using.

3.A fine “espresso grind” for pump-driven machines must be used. Be sure to ask for this when buying coffee or when having beans ground. Do not use a blade-type grinder because it makes too much coffee dust and produces an irregular grind.

4.The mark of real espresso is its dark color, rich taste and the light brown, natural froth called “crema” in Italian.

5.Cappuccino is simply a combination of espresso and hot, frothy milk.Cappuccino is usually topped with cinnamon, nutmeg or cocoa powder.

6.Espresso Coffee should be served immediately after it is made.

7.Espresso is served in 2 to 2 ½ oz. demitasse

cups. A 4 or 6 oz. cup or glass is used for cappuccino

8.Ideally, coffee beans should be ground immediately before using. Remember, it must be an “espresso grind” for pump-driven es- presso machines.

9.It’s best to store ground coffee or beans in an airtight container in the freezer of your refrigerator. Ground coffee tends to absorb food odours.
