By Jane Smith


Hence you are the ecstatic owner of a coffee/espresso making machine. But do you actually know how to get the maximum out of it? Here are one or two handy pointers that should help you to make the ideal espresso coffee time and time again.

Tip 1 - Let Your Coffee/espresso Machine totally Heat Up

The inside workings of your coffee machine that hold water items like the boiler are classically made from metal. Permitting this kit to heat up by turning on your coffee machine at least 10 min preceding the 1st coffee will make a rather more steady heat for your coffees. Also use this time to heat your coffee cups before use, use the steam nozzle in hot water mode to fill the cups. Some coffee machines have built in cup heaters that take 1 or 2 minutes to warm up.

Tip 2 - Use Fresh Water

With coffee, everything must be fresh. Empty out your coffee machine water container each day when you're making your 1st coffee. You should use filtered water and you will definitely taste the difference. Using filtered water will also lengthen the life of your coffee machine; reducing calcification and lime scale build up.

Tip 3 - Use Fresh Coffee beans

If you don't have an automated coffee machine that's got a grinder built in then you'll need to buy a separate one. Every time you use your coffee machine, only ever grind enough coffee beans for that measure of coffee. This will give you a glowing creme on top of your coffee or espresso. Store your beans in the freezer until it's to utilise them, this'll help them to hold their flavor.

Tip 4 - Use The Proper Grind And Correct Tamping

Speak to your coffee provider about your coffee machine and ensure that he is giving you the right ground coffee. If feasible use your own grinder to attain the most agreeable fineness. Gently pack your fresh ground coffee into the filter handle, don't pack to much or press to hard or you will not reach a decent flow rate. A fantastic rough rule is that it should take approximately 25 seconds for 30ml of coffee to be poured.

Tip 5 - Experiment

There are so many variables at work with a coffee machine that you will need to make a large amount of coffees to actually realize the numerous coffees you can make. The temperature, the beans, the grind and the flow rate will all give various tasting coffees. You will know you are getting it correct when your coffee machine produces a thick golden creme and a sweet, rich espresso coffee.
