THE PERFECT COFFEE
6. THE CUP
BARISTA TRAINING

Coffee should always be served in a warm cup, this will
keep the coffee hotter for longer and enhance the aroma.
••
An espresso shot in particular will get cold very quickly
if poured into a cold cup. For this reason your Dualit
machine comes with its own cup warmer.
••
Place the cups on the warmer. Alternatively use the
hot water function and rinse the cups to warm them.
••
Dualit also produces cleverly designed stainless steel
coffee cups with a double insulated wall to keep your
coffee hotter for longer.
You are looking for an espresso with a 2–3mm crema and
a rich, dark brown colour underneath (the exact colour
will depend on the bean you have chosen).
••
It should have a taste that is full of flavour (whether
mild and subtle or rich and strong) and should not be
bitter. It should stay hot to the bottom of the espresso.
••
A cappuccino should comprise an espresso topped
with steamed milk and a head of froth. The
proportions are roughly equal.
••
The milk should be steamed for long enough to ensure
the cappuccino (or latté) is hot when served.
••
A café latté contains one-third espresso and nearly
two-thirds steamed milk, the milk should be fully
frothed, giving the latté a more velvety texture.
