World of Coffee

Rich and bold

The world of coffee is a growing industry that continues to evolve. Much like the world of wine, it is both complex and fascinating. And the best part is it’s yours to discover.

The ABCs of making the perfect coffee

Filtered Water

Avoid using distilled water as it lacks essential minerals that add to the flavour. It is also high in acidity, or low in pH levels, causing a corrosive effect that can damage machine components. Softened water should also be avoided as the sodium ions used to soften the water can create a gelatinous accumulation that could clog the machine.

Freshly roasted and ground coffee

Choose a balanced blend of coffee and make sure to consume it within two weeks of roasting. Coffee begins to lose its natural oils and aroma after approximately 15 minutes of being ground. It is therefore recommended that you purchase smaller amounts of roasted coffee beans more frequently and grind as required.

Quality Machine

A good coffee machine will optimize water distribution while ensuring that the coffee stays hot. It also combines all the elements that go into the process of brewing a delicious cup of coffee.

The essentials for all types of coffee machines

Automatic Espresso Machines

With an automatic espresso machine, all you need to worry about is flavour. Let the genius of an automatic espresso machine guide you. Since they are programmable, all you have to do is select your favourite coffee. Are you more of a latté person or is cappuccino more your style?

What you’ll need:

Medium dark roast coffee beans (black coffee is too oily and could damage your grinder)
A maintenance kit for maintaining the efficiency of your coffee machine and extending its life
