Starting from the cup

7 tips to become a home barista.

Using freshly ground coffee beans is preferable

Grind your favourite coffee beans right before making espresso.

Enjoy Arabica

Always choose high quality coffee beans: Arabica coffee beans are the perfect ones. Arabica tends to have a smoother, sweeter taste, with flavour notes of chocolate and sugar. Arabica also often gives rise to fruity or berry aromas. Robusta, on the other hand, has a punchy flavor and strong aftertaste.

Gram after gram

The right amount of coffee for a cup of espresso is 8 grams.

The importance of hot consistency

Keeping the temperature constant and being able to adapt to different varieties and degrees of roasting of coffee beans during extraction is essential to ensure the best results for your cup.

The right temperature to enjoy coffee.

Serve your coffee at around 65°C.

Your cup model

Choosing the right coffee cup or glass ensures the drink is served at the ideal temperature. Serve an elegant, well-crafted cup of coffee in a high-quality coffee kit, like a barista.
