Ideal quantity of coffee for each cup is at least 6 grams, ground in such a way as to allow a time of percolation of about 30 seconds.

transformed the way we drink coffee at home or at the office. Capsules
ensure that every coffee tastes as good as the first as they are roasted by Italian artisans and
carefully individually packed to ensure premium freshness. All of this effect at the push of a button without the need to be a trained barrista.
The art of tasting
does not limit itself to a sensation of the tongue or mouth but it can
be a full tactile experience evoking a playful enjoyment from first
sight, to smell, and lastly, taste.
Senses are playing
Sight
It's the first of senses to be involved with full appreciation of senses
that the colour and the quality of creamy foam give off.
A creamy foam of a perfect espresso can be recognized for its hazelnut
coloured hue with reddish glints and clear streaks. Besides, the ideal
foam is homogenous and it sticks onto the cup almost forming a kind of
covering on top of coffee to keep even the most volatile aromas. To verify the quality of a creamy foam it is sufficient to put a tea
spoon of sugar onto the surface and observe the time and manner of
absorption; a perfect espresso needs about 8 seconds to absorb sugar,
through a small conical hole.
Smell
Enjoy to the full the olfactory perfumes of your espresso: at start, the
lightest and most volatile aromas are manifested so, stirring the
coffee, allow the most dense and blended perfumes to come out. More
blended is the coffee, stronger the perfumes will be.
Taste
The foam has an important role also in stimulating the sense of taste.
It is defined as "greasy" in case it's thick, 2 to 4 mm high and
"remains" in your mouth. A good aftertaste, that is, aroma that is
perceived after having tasted the coffee, is a synonym of the blend
quality. Perfect espresso is the one where real flavours of the blend are built.
with the only exception of a bitter, balanced and clear sensation.
Touch
Tactile sense plays a role in tasting of an espresso: it allows
evaluating the fullness, the temperature, the softness. Perfect coffee
is structured, has a full and rounded body. It results soft and velvety.
