Step By Step Guides
Make The Perfect Cup Of Cappuccino
Prepare the espresso by grinding the coffee finely, preheat the machine and cup, dose and tamp coffee in the portafilter, and extract 1 ounce espresso in 25-30 seconds. For the milk, pour it into a pitcher, steam until it reaches a velvety texture at 150-160°F. To assemble the cappuccino, pour the espresso into a cup, add frothed milk (holding back foam), and spoon the foam on top. Optionally, garnish with cocoa or cinnamon. Serve immediately, savoring the fresh cappuccino, and adjust grind, dose, and frothing to your liking.
Hand Brewed Filter Coffee
For filter coffee, use medium-ground fresh coffee beans in a paper-filtered pour-over device. Pour just-below-boiling water in a circular motion, allowing the coffee to bloom. Maintain a steady pour for even extraction, discard used grounds, and dilute the brewed coffee to taste with hot water or milk. Experiment with ratios for your perfect cup of rich, aromatic filter coffee.
The Perfect Shot
For the perfect espresso, use high-quality, freshly roasted beans. Grind finely, preheat the machine, dose, tamp evenly, and extract 1 ounce in 25-30 seconds for a rich crema. Adjust factors like grind and dose to taste. Serve immediately, savoring the rich aroma and robust flavor. Experiment with variables to refine your perfect cup.
