General

What is an espresso?: A shot of rich and intense black coffee made using a brewing method in which a pump-driven coffee machine forces hot water through fine grounds at high pressure (9-bar). It comes from the Latin word 'expressus', meaning ‘expressed’ or ‘pressed out’.

What is a cappuccino?: A shot of espresso with steamed milk and a big head of foamed milk – spooned on to maintain the warmth. The ratio of espresso to steamed and frothed milk is typically 1/3 espresso: 1/3 steamed milk: 1/3 frothed milk.

In Italy, drinking cappuccino after 10am is a serious no-no. The iconic coffee is believed to work wonders for one’s digestion. But only when drunk at breakfast time.

What's the difference between filter coffee and espresso?: Filter coffee and espresso have different methods of preparation and therefore require different types of beans. Filter coffee is usually made from Arabica beans in a drip coffee maker. While espresso is made in an espresso machine using a mix of both: approximately 60-70% Arabica beans and 30-40% Robusta beans. When it comes to roasting, filter coffee is given a light or medium roast to enhance the flavors and create subtle aromas. While an espresso is given a dark and intense roast to brings out the toasted chocolate nuances and decrease acidity.

How to make the perfect espresso: A perfect shot of espresso should have an extraction time of between 20-30 seconds and a manual pressure adjusted to 9-bar. This ensures the positive flavour components are extracted and the fats which create the crema are emulsified. Always use pure water for the purest taste.
