Helpful hints:
•
An espresso is a far richer drink with a more intense taste than regular brewed drip coffee. It is
recommended that espresso should be served immediately after brewing. If the espresso is too
strong, you can add hot water. Add sugar to taste.
•
Which coffee? Any coffee labelled “espresso” is suitable for making espresso. Any coffee with at
least 80% Arabica beans is ideal for espresso preparation. Check with your local coffee store.
