Home Espresso Tips: #1

There seem to be two ways to get good espresso at home: (a) Pay through the nose for a swish machine, or (b) buy takeaways from a good café.

That said, in my experience you can get reasonable results from an entry level machine. I thought I'd share a couple of tips... and not the ones I usually read on coffee websites, either.

Tip #1: Use the right glasses / cups.


Volume is what I'm talking about: how much the glasses hold. If you use a mug, all you'll be able to taste is warm milk. Try smaller glasses (around 200ml, even a little less). At least then you'll be able to taste the coffee.

That's great man.

I liked the service in there. Unfortunately I've been pretty disappointed by their beans recently.

Ah well, hopefully they'll get there :)
