BARISTA TRAINING
The Dualit Bean to Go machine brings coffee shop style coffee into your home. Let’s start with
a quick training session and turn you, the coffee drinker, into a barista...
THE PERFECT COFFEE
You are looking for an espresso with a 2-3mm crema and a rich, dark brown colour
underneath (the exact colour will depend on the bean you have chosen).
It should have a taste that is full of flavour (whether mild and subtle or rich and strong) and
should not be bitter. It should stay hot at the bottom of the espresso.
Dualit recommend the following extraction volumes, however you can adjust the Lungo and
Espresso modes according to your personal preference (page 28).
There are 6 components to making a great cup of hot coffee. Get all these right and you’ll
have the perfect coffee, whether it’s a straight shot of espresso or a ‘combo’ like a latte
or cappuccino.
THE RIGHT CHOICE OF COFFEE BEANS
There are two main types of bean; within each type there are numerous varieties that are
usually identified by their geographical region.
The roast will affect the strength and flavour of the coffee. Generally the darker the roast the
stonger the coffee will be. Try beans from around the world. Much like wine, the soil, climate
and cultivation methods affect the taste of the coffee, producing anything from a mild, mellow
blend to a rich, dark roast.
Whole beans will keep for fourteen days in an air-tight container or 45 days in the freezer.
Divide a big bag of beans into several smaller containers before freezing so you only open
what you require. Never grind frozen beans.
