Start with Freshly Roasted Beans:<br />Choose high-quality, freshly roasted coffee beans for the best flavour. Consider specialty coffee blends like the FTO Soul from Custom Coffees Australia, known for its rich and balanced taste. You can find this blend here: <a href="https://www.customcoffees.com.au/collections/coffee-blends/products/fto-soul?variant=32042954391627" target="_blank">FTO Soul.</a></p><p>2. Grind Just Before Brewing:<br />Invest in a coffee grinder and grind your beans just before brewing. Burr grinders are preferred by coffee enthusiasts because they offer a more consistent grind size, resulting in better extraction and flavour. Consider investing in a burr grinder for better results.</p><p>3. Use the Right Water:<br />Use filtered water with balanced mineral content to enhance the coffee's taste. Avoid using distilled or overly chlorinated water.</p><p>4. Perfect Your Espresso Shot:<br />Focus on achieving the right espresso shot. Aim for an optimal shot time of around 25-30 seconds. Adjust your grind size, tamping pressure, and machine settings to achieve the desired shot time. Additionally, aim for a shot volume of around 25-30ml to ensure a well-balanced espresso.</p><p>5. Master Milk Texturing:<br />The texture of steamed milk is crucial for a well-rounded espresso drink. Start by selecting cold, whole milk for the best results. Position the steam wand just below the surface of the milk and create a whirlpool motion. This will incorporate air and create a creamy, velvety microfoam. Practice your technique to achieve the desired consistency and pour it gently over your espresso shot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Section 2: How to Make the Best Quality Coffee at Home?</p><p><br /></p><p>To ensure the best quality coffee at home, consider the following factors:</p><p>1. Choose the Right Espresso Machine:<br />Invest in a high-quality espresso machine that suits your needs and budget. Look for features like temperature control and pressure consistency.</p><p>2. Quality Coffee Beans:<br />Start with fresh, specialty-grade coffee beans. Experiment with different origins and roasts to find your preferred flavour profile. Consider buying whole beans and grinding them just before brewing to preserve freshness and flavour. Maybe a Single Origin? Our East Timor Fairtrade Organic.

Proper Storage:<br />Store your coffee beans in airtight containers, away from light, heat, and moisture. This helps preserve their freshness and flavour for a longer duration. Avoid storing coffee in the refrigerator or freezer as it can affect the taste and aroma.</p><p>4. Accurate Measurements:<br />Use a digital scale to measure both coffee and water accurately. Consistent ratios are crucial for a balanced and flavourful espresso. A common starting point is using a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:2, where 1 gram of coffee is used for every 2 grams of water.</p><p>5. Pre-Infusion Technique:<br />Some espresso machines offer a pre-infusion feature, which moistens the coffee grounds before extraction. This allows for better extraction and enhances the flavours in your espresso. If your machine has this capability, consider using it for improved results.</p><p><br /></p><p>Section 3: Troubleshooting Common Espresso Issues</p><p><br /></p><p>Even with the best equipment and techniques, espresso brewing can sometimes present challenges. Here are a few troubleshooting tips for common espresso issues:</p><p>1. Sour Taste:<br />If your espresso tastes sour, it may be under-extracted. Adjust your grind to make it finer and ensure proper tamping pressure to increase extraction time. Experiment with different variables until you achieve a balanced flavour.</p><p>2. Bitter Taste:<br />On the other hand, if your espresso tastes bitter, it may be over-extracted. Try using a coarser grind size and adjusting your tamping pressure to reduce extraction time. Remember, small adjustments can make a significant difference, so keep experimenting.</p><p>3. Uneven Extraction:<br />If your espresso shot shows signs of uneven extraction, such as lighter or darker patches in the crema, it could be due to an uneven grind size or uneven tamping. Ensure your grinder is producing a consistent particle size, and use a level tamper to achieve an even tamp.</p><p>4. Inconsistent Shot Volume:<br />If the volume of your espresso shots varies, it could be due to uneven tamping pressure or inconsistencies in your grinder. Practice tamping with consistent pressure, and consider investing in a high-quality burr grinder for better control over grind size and consistency.</p><p>5. Cleanliness:<br />Regularly clean your espresso machine and equipment to prevent buildup and ensure optimal performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and descaling to maintain the quality of your espresso.</p><p><br /></p><p>Conclusion:</p><p>By following these tips and techniques, you can elevate your espresso-making skills and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee right at home. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't be afraid to experiment and find your own preferred brewing method. With a little dedication and passion, you'll be on your way to mastering the art of making the perfect espresso.</p><p>So go ahead, unleash your inner barista, and enjoy the delightful experience of sipping a perfectly crafted espresso in the comfort of your own home. The journey to becoming a coffee connoisseur begins today.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a lot of R&D over the past 12 months, we think we've nailed it. Beautiful award winning coffee in a convenient Nespresso compatible pod.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We developed three different strengths, 'Atomic Bomb', the strongest blend, the 'Cluster Bomb' for those who want a little less kick and 'The Dud', - decaf!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The beauty in these pods is the suburb balanced coffee flavour, not a metallic sharp taste, and the depth and longevity of the crema displaying the quality of the ethically sourced AA Grade coffee beans in the specially developed coffee pod blends.</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>With fresh coffee the entire shot seems to be crema as it brews. Only after the pour stops does it settle out into two clearly defined phases. <b>With older coffee you can often see a thinner, separate head of foam settling out as the shot pours. The resulting coffee is often thin and watery meaning the little crema we have disappears quickly. </b></i><b> </b>(Read - 'other' Pods - stale, flat, metallic taste)</span></div>

<i><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Crema is one of the many joys of an espresso. The honeycomb network of bubbles traps many of the aromatics ready to release them as the bubbles burst on the tongue. It lends both an appealing texture and an appealing look to the drink, and will remain inextricably linked to the romance of coffee. </span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The vulnerable E61 Group Head has been in service since 1961 first seen in the original Faema E61 Espresso machine . </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l9sJcDxPoOU/U2TUcqOFT0I/AAAAAAAABhc/SNkhILCChAU/s1600/4293357287_dbc8dea643.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l9sJcDxPoOU/U2TUcqOFT0I/AAAAAAAABhc/SNkhILCChAU/s1600/4293357287_dbc8dea643.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A derivative of the original patented design are still used today by most of the large espresso machine manufactures. Weighing around 4kg and made of of nickel plated solid brass, it was and still is renowned for it's fantastic even thermal qualities, partly due to its thermal mass, but more so to its patented thermosyphon head heating, a movement of heated water purely driven by hot water cooling slightly along its journey - thus creating a free and continuous circulation of hot water through the group head, much like the circulation of heated air cooling and falling in a room, only to be reheated again and rising. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ag4iosZQGPk/U2TUqvAnnSI/AAAAAAAABhk/nugbbxqZuME/s1600/Groupcleaning02.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ag4iosZQGPk/U2TUqvAnnSI/AAAAAAAABhk/nugbbxqZuME/s1600/Groupcleaning02.jpeg" height="184" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Still today a lot of espresso machines use the manual original version of this group head. A manual leaver drives a cam providing three different positions of valves. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Off / dump pressure. (fully up) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Pre infusion (allows ambient pressure heated water into the poprtafilter to wet the ground coffee) (mid point)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. High pressure pump on. (fully down) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The length of the pre infusion and high pressure extraction is up to you, opinions vary on what the correct timing for each is. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a push button society where ease of use and digital timing take the guess work out of the extraction, the 3 way cam has been replaced with a simple of / on solenoid of course thus removing the important manual pre infusion step. Different manufactures have different way to get around this, some pulse the pump for a second, stop, and restart to pre infuse, others have stepped pressure building to achieve the same result, or its ignored all together. The important point here is that all still rely on a basic design concept devised in the 1960's by <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Ernesto_Valente" style="background-color: white; background-image: none; color: #0b0080; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none;" title="Carlo Ernesto Valente">Carlo Ernesto Valente</a> - the venerable E61 Group Head. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The video below beautifully shows the inner workings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What a great piece of engineering - those crafty Italians. </span><br />

Hello Custom Coffees Crew,</span></i><i><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Just wanted to send a quick letter of thanks for sending Brett out to look at the coffee machine at the Bendigo Tramways this week. He was very helpful, as you all have been to us. We really appreciate the extra training and maintenance advice you give us as none of us are trained baristas. Our coffee has been getting great reviews and it's all thanks to you for helping us prefect the perfect cup. Some of us have been to other paid training coffee courses and we've still learned much more from the training and advice you've provided. Thank you so much for going above and beyond just being our coffee bean supplier. We all appreciate it.</span></i><i><br /><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Regards,</span></i></span><i><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The Bendigo Trust Team</span> </span></i><br />

coffee supply industry usually fails in providing adequate and timely response

a churn though various </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">methods</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">, but
suppliers who have a great product, who
identify the type of relationship a client wants from the start – and then
focus on doing it really, really well – will prosper and achieve longevity. Custom
Coffees is a shining example.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fairtrade coffee ensures that the farmers who grow the coffee beans are paid a fair price for what they produce. Not only is this equitable and helps to ensure better conditions for workers, but it means farmers are better able to afford to feed their families, educate their children, and reinvest money back into their farms to further develop them. Fairtrade coffee helps people in developing countries help themselves.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are many Fairtrade certified products available around the world. Coffee is one of the most popular, as many of the world’s least developed countries rely on coffee revenue, where in some instances it makes up nearly 80% of exports. On this larger scale, Fairtrade coffee helps ensure these nations have the resources to look after their people and develop their economies. Our Fairtrade coffee—whether blended or single origin—is also organic, so it cares for people as well as the environment– better for the farmers and better for you!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tubs all lined up for todays roasting schedule. Back a few days early to make sure sure we have plenty of coffee for Mondays reopening after the Christmas clean out! This gives the coffee four days to degas before shipment, you want it fresh but not too fresh..</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Christmas for Custom Coffees is always a busy time. For the three weeks leading up to our break, this year started the 21st December, we have to prepare for being shut down for two weeks. Three weeks of coffee needs to go out in one week. This always takes some planning starting months before.</span></div>

Factory stores staff have to order a minimum 3 months in advance from our suppliers, and we always have two months of raw coffee supply in our factory and storage areas - so five months earlier we need to start to ramp up to cope with three weeks of coffee going out in the last week before Christmas shut</span></div>

about 1.5 tonnes of beans each week.“We took over the building next door,” he said.<o:p></o:p>“We stripped it and turned it into a retail section with
a tasting room for customers to sample different types of coffee.<o:p></o:p>“There’s a lot of timber and glass work in the there and

interstate,” he said.<o:p></o:p>“We have about 300 commercial customers in cafes,
restaurants, clubs and bars.<o:p></o:p>“They’re our main clients, but domestic sales – people
off the street – are growing.”<o:p></o:p> Mr McDonald said internet sales had also
increased. <o:p></o:p> “That puts pressure on the space in the factory for
bagging and packaging,” he said.<o:p></o:p> “Everything is getting busy and we need all the space we
can get.<o:p></o:p> “Coffee sales used to be slower in summer than winter,

<span style="font-size: small;">After a lot of planning and work over the past 12 months or so, finally our new Custom Coffees / Grata Espresso / Nuova Caffe larger retail area is up and running. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The domestic retail sector has always formed a small but growing part of Custom Coffees overall customer base over the years, so together with the increasing demand online for our products, this expansion allows us to better cater for those growing markets and also importantly frees up valuable floor space in the factory area that we are fast running out of. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Nine very dedicated CC staff work tirelessly to bring all our coffee partners around Australia the very best in Artisan Gourmet coffees, together with everything else our wholesale customers have come to expect and deliver the superlative level of service they deserve. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">All at Custom Coffees look forward to seeing our domestic customers in our sparkling new retail area. </span></div>

Australia. Five helicopters and four King Air aircraft cover the State
providing an unparalleled level of accident and emergency response.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
