THREE ESSENTIALS TO MAKING GREAT COFFEE

CLEANLINESS

Make sure the machine is clean and the workplace spotless. This not only reduces the risk of cross-contamination, it also makes the expensive machine last longer.

EXTRACTION

Every kind of coffee starts with a shot of espresso, and only great extraction allows you to make great coffee consistently. 

MILK TEMPERATURE

Milk must be at the correct temperature to simplify the texturing process.
