Cooking Tip

Tips for Making a Good Cup of Espresso

• Choose a good espresso mix. Store beans in a glass or opaque container, well sealed. Avoid very dark colored beans and those that are excessively shiny. The blending and roasting of variety beans is what makes each brand unique.
• Grind the beans very finely just before using them.
• If your tap water has too much calcium or other minerals, use bottled water.
• Use a coffee maker that will make only the number of cups needed.
• Note: Once you have mastered how to make Italian coffee, it is fun to create some coffee desserts.
