What Is A “Good Cup Of Coffee”?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"comment<\/p>\n

A <\/span>good cup of coffee<\/b> is first and foremost a coffee that suits you and you enjoy drinking. But to get a cup of coffee that suits your palate, you must respect certain essential criteria: quality coffee, freshly roasted and ground, well-maintained equipment, good quality water… Here’s a list of things to do to ensure your coffee is a success. <\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\r\n

Use good water<\/h3>\n

Coffee is 98% water, so use the best possible water. We recommend using filtered or bottled water. Or, if your machine allows it, use a filter cartridge.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t \t\t\t

Choose a roast that suits your tastes and brewing method<\/h3>\n

Not all roasts are created equal! Lighter roasts with brighter, fruitier notes are ideal for filter methods, while darker roasts bring out bolder flavours perfect for espresso drinks. Ultimately, the best roast is a matter of personal preference. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find your perfect cup of coffee!<\/span><\/p>\n

At MaxiCoffee, we offer a 10-point roast scale (1-lightest, 10-darkest) to guide you through our wide variety of coffees.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t \t\t\t

Don\u2019t forget maintenance<\/h3>\n

Each time coffee is extracted, oils or grounds will be deposited in your machine. Over time, the oils become rancid, limescale builds up and the grounds can become mouldy. So it’s important to clean your equipment weekly and descale regularly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t \t\t\t

Bonus: if you use coffee beans\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Choose freshly roasted coffee<\/b><\/p>\n

You’ll get the most out of your coffee’s rich aroma between two weeks and two months after roasting. You can find <\/span>freshly roasted coffees on our site<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Freshly ground coffee<\/b><\/p>\n

Ground coffee tends to oxidise more quickly than coffee beans. We therefore advise you to invest in a grinder or a bean-to-cup machine with a built-in grinder, so that you can grind your coffee beans at the last minute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use a scale<\/b><\/p>\n

For certain methods, a scale will help you to be precise and calculate your coffee\/water ratio. You can then test and taste different recipes to find your own!\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n
