DavidoffThe Perfect EspressoTake your time for a connoisseur’s moment and enter the world of espresso expertise with the knowledge of the Davidoff Café Sommelier to experience the ultimate espresso enjoyment. Grind the beans with a medium grinder right before brewing. The correct grind makes sure the water flows through the coffee at the right speed. Grinding it too finely will result in a burnt taste; grinding it too coarsely will lead to thin, watery coffee with a bitter taste. The perfect dosage is 7-8 g of coffee for 40-50 ml of water. To ensure that the water runs smoothly through the coffee, press the coffee in the portafilter down with a tamper. Less pressure may lead to a bitter taste. Use soft or filtered water to avoid a bitter taste. Hard tap water hinders the aroma nuances in unfolding. The electric espresso machine offers the perfect preparation for Espresso. Only fully automatic and semi-automatic espresso machines provide the ideal pressure (9-12 bar) and the necessary temperature (90-95°C). It ensures a perfect golden, velvety and long-lasting crema which completely covers the espresso’s surface, and provides an enduring espresso taste. To prolong the exquisite taste of Davidoff Café we recommend that you enjoy your cup of coffee with an accompanying glass of water. Coffee is a sensitive product. Oxygen and moisture from surrounding air can quickly have a negative effect on the aroma. This process starts as soon as the protective aroma packaging is opened. Ground coffee experiences a negative effect when it is exposed to normal room temperature for more than 7 days. This process can be significantly prolonged by storing coffee in the refrigerator. It is therefore recommended to put ground coffee in an airtight glass or metal container and to keep it in the refrigerator until it is used up. If only small quantities are used and coffee is stored for some time, we recommend storing it in a freezer. Frozen coffee will remain fresh for a longer period of time. Coffee beans ideally should be stored in an airtight, light-insensitive container, as air and light are coffee’s worst enemies. A glass container is most suitable because glass best retains the aroma. The storage life of coffee depends on the following storage conditions: |
