Use a grind that is finer than filter coffee, but coarser than espresso. This helps prevent bitter or flat coffee.

The hissing sound means that the water is almost used up and the coffee is ready. Then remove the percolator from the heat immediately.

That’s possible, but traditionally Bialetti coffee is drunk black. With milk, the flavour becomes softer and less intense.

That depends on how much coffee you brew at a time. A 3-cup model is popular for one to two people.

Do not tamp the coffee. Tamping can block the flow-through and worsen the taste.

Unfortunately, this milk jug is not suitable for induction hobs.

Let the tea and spices cool down, pour this over ice cubes and add cold milk. You will then get a refreshing iced chai latte that is perfect for warm days.

If you make a chai syrup from the spices and sugar, you can keep it for up to a week in the fridge in a sealed bottle or jar. Warm it up before use and add milk.

Use a caffeine-free black tea or rooibos as an alternative. The spices stay the same, only the base changes: without caffeine you can enjoy the drink in the evening as well.

A chai latte is based on tea and spices, whereas golden milk is a drink based on (plant-based) milk and turmeric. Both are warm and spicy, but have a completely different taste and effect.

A ristretto is made with less water than an espresso. As a result, it is smaller in size and more concentrated in flavour.

Ristretto tastes more intense, but does not necessarily contain more caffeine. Due to the shorter extraction, the amount of caffeine is often comparable or even slightly lower.

A ristretto usually contains between 15 and 20 ml of coffee. That is about half of an espresso.

Because the water passes through the coffee for a shorter time, less caffeine is often extracted.

Many bean-to-cup machines have a ristretto setting. You can also stop the extraction earlier manually.
