The Perfect Cup of Coffee
SC: Does it matter how beans are ground?
VT: It doesn't matter how beans are ground by hand or machine, but the coarseness of the granules does matter. Coarse granules are usually for French presses or drip coffees; finer ones are good for espresso machines. When you grind the beans is also important. Our shop grinds beans only when an order is placed. If you store ground beans, they won't stay fresh very long.
SC: What do you need to make your own great coffee at home?
VT: You need to have a good espresso machine and coffee grinder. You also need a stainless steel milk pitcher and a tamper to press down the coffee. I would also recommend getting a brush to clean the machine. Maintaining your machine will help it last a long time.
SC: Do you have anything you'd like to add?
VT: I drink coffee every day and I feel very passionate about it. There are so many things you can do with coffee and coffee flavors. It's not just coffee. It's an experience.
