The measuring spoon that is also supplied holds (heaped)
roughly 7 g of coffee beans and 5 g of coffee powder.
The kitchen scales not only make dosing easier for be-
ginners, but are also used by experienced baristas. With
the help of these you can weigh the quantities of coffee
powder and water very precisely and so also ensure the
ideal ratio between the two ingredients.
Is one cup not enough? Do you sometimes just fancy a bit more
coffee or do your guests also want to enjoy a proper coffee?
This is not a problem because our Coffee Press coffee maker jug
is also available in a large size. So that you can also share the
enjoyment. The Coffee Press coffee maker jug, 1 litre can be
obtained from selected specialist stockists, directly via our website
www.beem.de or from our customer service department on
request.
Water
•
Coffee is largely made up of water, and you should there-
fore make sure that the quality of the water you use for
brewing your coffee is good. Since tap water is often too
hard, we recommend that you use fi ltered water. For a
particularly fi ne fl avour, you can also use still mineral water.
Here, too, you should experiment, because not every min-
eral water tastes the same.
•
In addition to the water quality, the water temperature is
also decisive for the taste of your coffee. For the best re-
sults, pour water at a temperature of approx. 95°C over the
freshly ground coffee. Always avoid brewing the coffee with
boiling water! If the water is too hot, valuable ingredients in
the coffee powder can burn, which makes the coffee bitter.
