Is the saucer included with the Café du Jour coffee cup?

Yes, you are ordering a set consisting of a cup with its matching saucer. The price applies per cup and saucer, so for six complete sets you add six of them to your basket.

The cups come from the original Café du Jour series and can be combined with the espresso cup and the cappuccino cup from that same series.

How do I store the Gina caffè crema coffee beans after opening?

Seal the 1 kilo bag well after every use and store it cool, dark and dry, for example in a kitchen cupboard. We advise against the fridge, because coffee absorbs moisture and odours there. Unopened, roasted coffee keeps for about a year; the aroma is at its best within about three months. Do not fill the bean hopper of your machine with more than you use up in a few days.

How many cups do you get from 100 grams of Ceylon loose leaf tea?

Count on about 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup. So from this pack of 100 grams you get roughly 50 cups. If you make the tea stronger or use a whole pot, you end up with fewer cups.

How many cups of tea do you make with 100 grams of Pure Rooibos?

At about 2 grams per cup, this 100 gram bag gives you around 50 cups of tea. If you like it a bit stronger, you will end up with slightly fewer. For a whole pot, count per cup that goes into it.

How many cups of tea do you get from 100 grams of Chun Mee?

Allow about 2 grams of loose tea per cup. So this 100 gram pack gives you roughly 50 cups. If you brew the tea stronger or use a whole pot, you will of course end up with fewer cups.

What does Landhaus Klassisch taste like and who is this coffee for?

Landhaus Klassisch is a classic blend of selected coffees. The taste is full-bodied and lightly spicy, with an aroma most people recognise as simply good coffee: not so soft that the character disappears, but not roasted so dark that it turns bitter.

That makes it a pleasant choice for the jug that keeps going all day at home or in the office and that several people drink from. If you would like something softer with less acidity, have a look at Landhaus Naturmild. And if you are after coffee without caffeine, there is Landhaus Entkoffeiniert.

What is the difference between Landhaus Naturmild and Landhaus Klassisch?

Both are 500-gram filter-ground blends for the filter coffee machine, but they aim at a different flavour profile. Naturmild is deliberately low in acidity: soft, rounded and lightly nutty. Klassisch has more body and a lightly spicy, instantly recognisable coffee flavour.

If you drink your coffee black and like a gentle cup, Naturmild is the obvious choice. If you drink it with milk, or you want the coffee to still come through clearly, Klassisch is the better fit.

How many cups will I get from 500 grams and how should I store the coffee?

At the usual 6 to 7 grams per 125 ml cup, 500 grams gives you roughly 70 to 80 cups, or around ten full jugs.

Ground coffee loses its aroma through air, light, moisture and heat. Seal the bag properly after use or tip the coffee into an airtight tin and keep it in a dark cupboard. The fridge is not a good spot: there coffee takes on moisture and smells. Once opened, it tastes best within two to four weeks.

What does Gala Mild Aroma taste like and who is this coffee for?

Gala Mild Aroma is made from carefully selected beans that are freshly roasted and vacuum packed. The flavour profile is mild and rounded: plenty of aroma, little sharpness and no bitter finish.

That makes it a safe choice for households or offices where several people drink from the same jug and not everyone enjoys a strong, dark-roasted coffee. If you would prefer more body, take a look at a classic or dark-roasted blend.

How should I store coffee pods and how long do they keep?

Unopened, the pods keep until the date on the packaging. As soon as the bag is open, oxygen reaches the ground coffee and the aroma starts to fade, so seal the bag well with a clip or keep the pods in an airtight pod storage tin.

Store them somewhere cool, dry and dark in the cupboard, not above the hob or next to strong-smelling foods. The fridge is not a good place: coffee takes on moisture and smells there. Once opened, a bag is at its best if you finish it within about four weeks.

How many pods are in a bag of Gala Dark Roast and how many do I use per cup?

There are 56 pods in a bag. For an ordinary cup of coffee you use one pod in the 1-cup holder. If you want two cups at once, or one large mug, use two pods in the 2-cup holder.

Making two cups at a time, a bag will therefore last you 28 rounds. If you drink a couple of cups a day at home, that works out at roughly two to four weeks.

Why does the coffee from my Mega Crema pods taste weak or watery?

In almost every case the pod is not the problem: it is the machine or the setting. If you are using one pod, place it in the 1-cup pod holder. In the 2-cup holder, too much water passes through a single pod.

Also select the smallest cup size. The more water that goes through the same pod, the thinner the coffee becomes. Lay the pod flat in the centre of the holder and press the coffee down lightly, so the water cannot run around the edge.

If the coffee still tastes weak, descale your machine. A machine full of limescale lets the water run through too quickly, so the coffee has too little time to release its flavour.

Does the Cube Mini 3.0 Pro run on batteries or does it need charging?

The scale has a built-in rechargeable battery that you charge with a USB-C cable, just like your phone. So there is no need to buy and replace loose batteries.

A handy detail if you make your coffee early in the morning: all the beeps can be switched off with the mute function, so you can go through your coffee ritual in silence.

What is the best way to store the illy coffee beans from the tasting pack?

Store the beans cool, dark and well sealed, for example in a kitchen cupboard. Do not put coffee in the fridge, because it absorbs moisture and odours there.

Only open one pack at a time and leave the other three closed until you need them. That way the aroma of each origin stays intact for as long as possible. You will find the best before date on the packaging.

How do I store Rooibos Ginger Lemon loose leaf tea?

Store this rooibos tea dry, dark and well sealed, for example in the original bag with the seal closed or in a tea tin. Do not place it next to coffee or spices, because loose leaf tea easily takes on foreign odours. That way the ginger and citrus notes in this blend stay clear for as long as possible.
