How many grams of ground coffee per cup of water?
For one cup of 125 ml, you typically use 7 grams of ground coffee beans. This corresponds to one standard coffee scoop or a heaped tablespoon.
How much coffee per cup of filter coffee?
For filter coffee, you usually use the ratio of 1 coffee scoop (7 grams) per 125 ml of water. Making several cups at once? Then use approximately 60–70 grams of coffee per litre of water.
How much coffee should I use for a strong cup?
For a strong cup, use 8 to 10 grams per cup. That is 1 to 1.5 coffee scoops. Try to build this up gradually, so that it doesn't become too bitter.
Can I also measure coffee with teaspoons?
Yes, that’s possible. In that case, use three level teaspoons for approximately 7 grams of ground coffee. Handy if you don’t have a scoop or scale!
What is the best milk for frothing?
Whole milk remains a favourite among baristas due to its rich flavour and stable foam. However, barista oat milk also performs excellently. It is important that the milk contains enough protein and is well chilled.
Why isn't my milk frothing properly?
It may be that the milk is too warm at the start. A second problem could be that there are too few proteins in the milk. Finally, it could be that you are using the wrong foaming technique or device. Choose milk with at least 3g of protein per 100ml and make sure you foam up to a maximum of 70°C.
Can I make cappuccino with oat milk?
Yes, especially the barista editions of oat milk froth well and provide a full, slightly sweet flavour. Perfect if you prefer not to use cow’s milk but still want to enjoy a robust cappuccino.
How long can you keep frothed milk?
Not really. Milk is best frothed just before use. After a few minutes, the foam starts to collapse and loses its texture. Cappuccino simply tastes best when it’s fresh!
What is the difference between Arabica and Robusta coffee beans?
Arabica beans have a smooth, refined flavour with notes of fruit or flowers and contain less caffeine. Many coffee brands combine both in a blend for a balance between strength and refinement.
How long do coffee beans stay fresh?
Unopened coffee beans will generally stay fresh for 9 to 12 months if stored in a cool, dry place. After opening, we recommend using them within 4 to 6 weeks for optimal flavour. Coffee beans should be stored in an airtight container, away from light and heat. Beans quickly lose their aroma after grinding, so freshly grinding them is always recommended.
Can I use coffee beans in any coffee machine?
You can use coffee beans in any device that can grind them, such as a fully automatic coffee machine or a manual espresso machine with a separate grinder. Don’t have a built-in coffee grinder? Then you can use a separate coffee grinder and adjust the grind size yourself to suit your brewing method: fine for espresso, coarser for filter coffee or French press.
How do I determine the right roast (light, medium, dark) for coffee beans?
The roast largely determines the flavour of coffee beans. Lightly roasted beans are mild and acidic, ideal for filter coffee. Medium roast provides balance and sweeter notes. Dark roast gives a strong, bitter taste. Pay attention to the roast in combination with your brewing method and personal preference.
What are good coffee beans?
You can recognise good coffee beans by the combination of flavour, freshness, and suitability for your brewing method. Fresh beans with a recent roast date (preferably within a few weeks) ensure the best aroma. Also pay attention to the roast: light roast is mild, dark roast is intense.
Does the Hario Buono kettle have a limescale filter and how do you descale it?
No, the Hario Buono kettle does not have a limescale filter. You keep scale under control by descaling the kettle now and then with a liquid descaler or a descaling powder.
How often you need to do this depends on how hard your tap water is. In a hard water area, descaling once a month is a good rhythm. With soft water a few times a year is plenty. Fill the kettle with the descaling solution, let it work for as long as the packaging says and then rinse well with clean water a few times. A kettle without scale heats up faster and keeps the taste of your filter coffee clean.
Why is my coffee bitter with a fully automatic machine?
With fully automatic machines, a standard grind and brewing time are often used. If these settings are not properly adjusted to your taste or type of bean, the coffee can quickly taste bitter. Adjust the grind, temperature and quantity if possible.
