Moka, French Press or Espresso: Which One is Yours?

The queen of Spanish homes. Produces a full-bodied, hot coffee with characteristic 'burnt' (toasted) notes. Tip: Put already hot water in the tank so the coffee doesn't burn while boiling. Lid open until it starts to come out.

Pressure and speed. Extracts intense flavors and creates that emulsion of oils (crema) we adore. It's the most expensive and difficult to maintain, but the only one that gives you a 'cafe coffee'. If you like latte art, this is yours.

It doesn't matter what coffee maker you buy: if you use coffee ground a month ago, it will taste like nothing. The best upgrade for your coffee isn't a €500 machine, it's a €50 grinder and buying whole bean coffee. Grind just before brewing.
