COFFEE MAKING TIPS
Coffee strength and flavour is an individual preference. It is suggested to experiment with different brands, flavours and amounts of coffee for all functions of the Café 3 in 1 coffee maker.
The Coffee
•
•Whole coffee beans are recommended and should be ground just before use.
•Coffee beans stored in an airtight container will keep up to 1 month before they begin to lose their flavour.
•Do not store in a refrigerator or freezer.
The Grind
•For making espresso the coffee grind must be very fine, but not too fine (slightly finer than table salt).
•For making drip filter coffee the coffee grind must be fine (individual grains visible).
•Suitable grinds of coffee can be purchased in vacuum packs for both espresso and drip filter brewing.
•If the coffee grind is too coarse the water will pass rapidly through the coffee maker resulting in poor extraction of coffee flavour.
•If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow though the coffee even under pressure (this grind looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers).
