A Bigger Cup Doesn’t Mean More Coffee
If it’s caffeine you’re after, size doesn’t matter.
Espresso shots are a staple – there’s just more milk!
There’s An Art To Perfecting Espresso
To make the shot of your dreams ensure the espresso grounds are packed to the right firmness, the right amount of water filters through and you control the temperature throughout.
A Real Macchiato Has Just A Hint Of Milk Foam – No Sugar
Milky, syrup-infused confections bear no resemblance to the real thing.
It’s basically an espresso with a small amount of foam on top. Italians are known to drink cappuccino in the morning, the macchiato is perfect for afternoon drinkers that favour a little milk – for extra flavour.
Food Match
Coffee and chocolate is a match made in heaven and coffee and cocoa beans have a lot in common sharing many of the same aromas. Cocoa comes from the beans found in seed pods of the tree, Theobroma cacao and coffee comes from berries off the Coffea plant.
Different chocolates perfectly complement certain coffees – JURA’s World of Coffee pairs perfectly with sea salted caramel and the Impressa is delicious with classic brownies – fudgy, intense and luxurious.
Coffee Art Suggests A Good Cup
If a heart or flower design holds in the milk, it’s a sign that the consistency of the foam is top notch. Pour milk close to the coffee’s surface to allow it to float then manipulate it into a design of your choice.
Experiment
Create custom coffee – do you have a favourite drink but fancy something new? Vary the strength, temperature, amount of water, milk and foam to just how you like it.
