        The Good Cup of Espresso

        Factor 1: Water
        Espresso is 98% water. The standard of that water is as essential as the standard of your espresso. If water does not style good from the faucet, it will not style good in your espresso. That is why Cuisinart has added a water filter to the Grind & Brew Coffeemaker. The charcoal filter removes chlorine, dangerous tastes, and odors, for the purest espresso taste, each time you brew.
        Factor 2: Espresso
        Whereas espresso is 98% water, the entire taste comes from the beans. To attain the identical nice style you get pleasure from at a espresso bar, you have to use the identical high quality of espresso.
        Purchase the beans contemporary and complete, solely about two weeks’ provide at a time for max freshness. As soon as the espresso bean is damaged, its taste degrades in a short time. That is why the Grind & Brew grinds your espresso simply previous to brewing. If it’s not sensible to purchase small provides, separate bigger quantities of beans into one to 2 week parts instantly after buy, and freeze them in hermetic containers.
        One of the best ways to maximise freshness is to reduce publicity to air, gentle, and moisture. So, as soon as beans have been faraway from the freezer, keep them in a sealed container at room temperature, since damaging condensation happens each time the beans are faraway from the freezer or fridge. Be aware that some espresso specialists advise in opposition to freezing dark-roast beans, as a result of freezing could cause the oils to coagulate. Different specialists disagree. We advise you experiment and resolve for your self.
        Factor 3: Grind
        The grind is important for correct taste extraction. If the grind is just too high-quality, over-extraction and bitterness will consequence. Too high-quality a grind may clog the filter. If grind is just too coarse, the water will move by too rapidly and the utmost taste is not going to be extracted. The Grind & Brew is preset for a medium grind, the optimum grind for any such coffeemaker.
        Factor 4: Proportion
        Espresso that’s too robust or too weak is at all times a disappointment. Comply with the advisable parts of floor espresso within the directions included with each Grind & Brew, and later alter the quantity to fit your style. The Grind & Brew makes as much as twelve (12) 5-ounce cups of espresso
