The single key factor that will affect the final taste of your
coffee is the bean you choose.
••There are two main types of bean; within each type
there are numerous varieties that are usually identified
by their geographical region.
ARABICA: Low in caffeine, low in acidity, high in
flavour and aroma.
ROBUSTA: Twice the amount of caffeine, high in
acidity and low in flavour and aroma.
••You will need to decide whether you want caffeine or
flavour, and then choose your coffee bean accordingly.
Many blends combine Arabica and Robusta beans –
look for the percentage of each in the blend.
••The roast will affect the strength and flavour of the
coffee. Generally the darker the roast the stonger the
coffee will be.
••Try beans from around the world. As with wine, the
soil, climate and cultivation methods all affect the
taste of the coffee, producing anything from a mild,
mellow blend to a rich, dark roast.

BARISTA TRAINING
The DualitEspressivo brings the cafe to the
kitchen. Let''s start with a quick training session
and turn you, the coffee drinkerinto a barista...
There are six main components to making a great cup of
hot coffee:
1. The right choice of coffee beans
2. The grind
3. Bottled or filtered water
4. Dosing and tamping
5. Frothing or steaming (if required)
6. The cup
Get all these right and you'll have the perfect coffee,
whether it's a straight shot of espresso or a coffee 'combo'
like a latté or cappuccino.
