There’s nothing worse than odd tasting coffee, and that’s exactly what build-up on your espresso machine does to great tasting coffee!!

Many people start their day with a caffeine hit (We can definitely relate). If you use an espresso machine at home.

I’d say if you are like us and ‘need’ your morning coffee fix – and you’ve invested in a home espresso machine.

Coffee — it’s something many can’t start the day without. In Italy, it is a cultural mainstay, and the country is perhaps the beverage’s spiritual home.

There’s no doubt about it, milk texturing takes a fair bit of practice. Mind you, there’s no point in having fabulous milk if you have a terrible espresso pour.

Try a finer grind than the standard plunger/drip grind. For example, our stove top espresso grind. The finer grind extracts more body and flavour into the brew.

Used coffee grounds can be used as a fertilizer in your garden as it adds organic material to the soil, which improves drainage.

Questions we ask ourselves … if the coffee is not extracting as best as it should. We watch the shot and think about what we see.

Backflush your machine! The health of your espresso machine is imperative, not only to deliver you a delicious cup of coffee every time.

We recommend that you buy your coffee as you would your bread – fresh and often. Freshly roasted beans, freshly ground always gives the best tasting cup.
