A porta filter is an essential part of an espresso machine. It’s the device that holds the coffee grounds and attaches to the machine for brewing espresso. Here's how it works with ground coffee: 1. Prepare the Porta Filter: Remove the porta filter from the espresso machine and clean it to ensure there’s no leftover coffee residue. 2. Grind the Coffee Beans: Use a coffee grinder to grind your beans to a fine, consistent texture, similar to table salt. Freshly ground coffee produces the best flavor. 3. Fill the Porta Filter: Add the ground coffee into the basket of the porta filter. The amount depends on your machine and the shot size you’re making (e.g., single or double shot). Typically, it's 7-9 grams for a single shot or 14-18 grams for a double shot. 4. Tamp the Coffee Grounds: Use a tamper to evenly compress the grounds in the porta filter. Apply firm, even pressure to ensure proper extraction. 5. Attach and Brew: Lock the porta filter into the espresso machine, then start the brewing process. Hot water will pass through the coffee, extracting the flavors into a rich espresso shot. #coffee #coffeetime #coffeelover #cafe #coffeeshop #coffeeaddict #food #espresso #love #barista #coffeelovers #breakfast #latte #tea #kopi #instagood #foodie #foodporn #coffeeholic #coffeegram #instacoffee #latteart #caf #chocolate #coffeebreak #specialtycoffee #instafood #photography #cappuccino #Hotel #Restaurant #Cafe

Crafting Espresso with a Moka Pot: A Flavorful Alternative While the Moka pot is often hailed as a stovetop espresso maker, it produces a beverage that diverges from true espresso. Unlike espresso machines with high-pressure pumps, the Moka pot relies on steam pressure to brew coffee, resulting in a concentrated and flavorful drink reminiscent of espresso, albeit without the characteristic crema. Despite this distinction, the Moka pot offers a simple and cost-effective means for coffee enthusiasts to enjoy espresso-like coffee at home. Concerns about over-extraction and burnt flavors can be mitigated with careful attention and practice. 👉Read more: https://lnkd.in/eJ-TZwdn ------------------------------------ 🤳 Contact Anna: +84 886.797.175 (WhatsApp/ Zalo) 📩 Email: sales@helenacoffee.vn #helenacoffee.vn #coffee #coffee_supplier #cofee_enthusiast

Reviewing another coffee from PT's Coffee Roasting Co. This time it’s not a pour over but a single-origin espresso offering. I was surprised at how unique this espresso tasted, that I had to write a blurb about it. I only have the information written on the display and not a picture of the bag here but I’ll tell you what: you don’t want to pass up this espresso. If you’re a fan of Lemoncello you’re going to love this coffee. At first I was a little taken aback by how lemony this brew tasted. It’s hard to imagine coffee or espresso tasting like lemon merengue or something similar but that is exactly how this one tastes—and it’s a pretty robust rendition of lemon merengue, straight down to the sour-ish element of fresh lemon. This tanginess was stratified above the base flavor of espresso; it was like an auxiliary element of flavor that ran in parallel to the everything else this coffee was about, but was always there. The entire packaged deal of flavor still read overall as an espresso, extremely rich and potent and a strong hit to the senses. But with that lemon it was extremely unique and deliciously refreshing. On the aftertaste you could detect some lingering raspberry that you might have missed from initially sampling because the other flavors are so powerful. If you’re willing to try something different, try this espresso from PTs! And tip your baristas well! #ptscoffee #coffee

Choosing the Right Coffee Roaster 🌻 🌴 When it comes to finding the perfect coffee roaster, there are a few key factors to consider: 1. **Coffee Consumption:** How much coffee do you need regularly? This will help you determine the size and capacity of the roaster you need. 2. **Roast Style:** Do you prefer light, medium, or dark roasts? Understanding your roast preference is crucial for selecting a roaster that aligns with your taste. 3. **Flavor Profile:** What flavors do you enjoy? Whether you love fruity, nutty, or chocolatey notes, knowing your preferred flavor profile will guide your choice. Remember, freshly roasted coffee is at its best for only 4-5 days, so choose a roaster that can keep your coffee fresh and flavorful! Happy brewing! 🌻 #Grindergrinding #CoffeeRoaster #DeStoner #CoffeeLovers #CoffeeShop #UsedRoaster #Coffeeroastermachine #Cafe #barista #Proroaster #Coffeeroastery

#BrewingCoffee - #Coffee Makers And Machines 7 simple steps that you can take to brewing coffee that will give you the perfect cup of coffee every time. For a change, a good cup of coffee would be nice. It does take some time and some energy to find a great cup of gourmet coffee these days. If you do know of a perfect coffee shop, you are one of the lucky ones. But, did you know that you can basically make a nice cup of coffee on your own from home? 1. Start with quality. One of the most critical aspects of coffee drinking is the grade of the coffee that you start off with. If you have a favorite flavor, then purchase whole beans in that flavor. If you can do this, it will allow you to get the most fresh coffee accessible. Ground coffee deteriorates much faster than whole bean, so it’s recommended to buy whole bean and ground only as much coffee as you plan on using each day. #beverage #FrizeMedia https://buff.ly/2tJJkSU @Charlesfrize @Frizefriedo #DigitalMarketingServices #specialtycoffee #espresso #barista #cupping #lifestyleandleisure #foodanddrink

Tasting the Coffee . Cupping coffee at originCoffee is repeatedly tested for quality and taste. This process is referred to as cupping and usually takes place in a room specifically designed to facilitate the process. First, the taster — usually called the cupper — evaluates the beans for their overall visual quality. The beans are then roasted in a small laboratory roaster, immediately ground and infused in boiling water with carefully-controlled temperature. The cupper noses the brew to experience its aroma, an essential step in judging the coffee's quality. After letting the coffee rest for several minutes, the cupper breaks the crust by pushing aside the grounds at the top of the cup. Again, the coffee is nosed before the tasting begins. To taste the coffee, the cupper slurps a spoonful with a quick inhalation. The objective is to spray the coffee evenly over the cupper's taste buds, and then weigh it on the tongue before spitting it out. Samples from a variety of batches and different beans are tasted daily. Coffees are not only analyzed to determine their characteristics and flaws, but also for the purpose of blending different beans or creating the proper roast. An expert cupper can taste hundreds of samples of coffee a day and still taste the subtle differences between them. #barista #coffee
