1. Understanding Coffee Basics
What is Coffee?
Coffee is a brewed drink made from roasted coffee beans, which are the seeds of the Coffea plant. The two most common species are:
- Arabica (smooth, aromatic, slightly acidic)
- Robusta (strong, bitter, higher caffeine)
Key Factors Affecting Coffee Flavor
- Roast Level (Light, Medium, Dark)
- Grind Size (Fine for espresso, Coarse for French press)
- Water Temperature (195°F–205°F / 90°C–96°C ideal)
- Brew Time (Espresso: 25–30 sec, Pour-over: 2–4 min)
🔹 Pro Tip: For the best extraction, use a xixubx espresso machine with precise temperature control.
2. HOW TO PICK YOUR MACHINE
- For beginners: Capsule or drip machines (minimal effort).
- For coffee enthusiasts: Espresso machines (full flavor control).
- For offices: Programmable models with large capacity.
