Three simple steps for the perfect espresso.

Three simple steps for the perfect espresso.

First, it’s important to buy high quality, freshly roasted coffee beans and then grind them just before brewing.

Second, buy the highest quality espresso equipment, starting with a coffee grinder all the way up to an espresso machine with high thermal stability.

Third, serve the coffee at the correct temperature. You’ll be more than rewarded for all the effort!

The importance of the right temperature.

Temperature control is essential to enjoy coffee at its best: the same coffee at different temperatures tastes completely different. Ideally, the temperature of the internal surface of the cup should be around 45°C to allow the drink to be tasted at a temperature of about 65°C.

Take care of your machine.

Great coffee is made by great machines, so it’s wise to keep them clean at all times. It is also advisable to periodically regenerate the water softeners or replace the filter cartridges within the times specified in the instruction manual, grind the coffee beans right before use, to calibrate the grinding settings to keep the coffee dose constant.
