prevent the extraction of bitter oils and release less caffeine than
any other brewing method. You will always make the absolute
freshest and most aromatic cup of coffee. This is the reason why
many European restaurants and hotels serve only fresh pressure
brewed coffee. Experiment with your C9 OT and prepare the
best and most enjoyable cup of coffee!
3b. DIFFERENT COFFEE DRINKS
Here are some guidelines for the most popular coffee drinks:
• Ristretto: 1/2 to 1 oz. of coffee. Sweeten to taste.
• Espresso: 1 to 2 oz. coffee. Sweeten to taste.
• Double Shot: 3 to 4 oz. of coffee. Sweeten to taste.
• Crema Coffee: 5 to 8 oz. of coffee.
• Cappuccino: 3 to 4 oz. of hot frothed milk plus espresso.
• Latte: 3 to 5 oz. steamed milk with little or no froth plus
espresso.
• Café Mocha: Use chocolate milk then proceed as in making
cappuccino or latte.
Experiment with the size of your milk based drinks. For stronger
coffee taste add more coffee, for more milk taste add more
frothed/steamed milk.
3c. COFFEE FACTS
•
Caffeine
is tasteless. A "strong" coffee or espresso is mostly
the result of the amount of coffee in relation to the amount of
water. The longer a bean is roasted, the less caffeine it has.
The shorter the brewing time the less caffeine in your cup.
•
Arabica and Robusta
are two genetically different kinds of
beans. "Arabica" beans have more flavor and a little less caffeine
than "Robusta" beans which are mostly used in lower priced
coffees and instant coffees.
•
Espresso
is not a bean! It's the way the coffee is roasted and
prepared. Typical US espresso roasts result in darker beans with
an oily surface. European espresso roasts are medium brown
with no or very little oils on the surface.
