Espresso coffee beans are specially selected and often dark-roasted beans that are suitable for brewing a strong espresso. They deliver a full flavour with rich aromas.

Good espresso beans can be recognised by a dark roast, low acidity and a full body. Choose beans that suit your taste: strong, smooth, spicy or rather creamy.

Espresso beans are usually roasted darker than regular coffee beans. This gives them a stronger, more concentrated flavour that is ideal for short espresso shots.

For espresso, use a fine grind so that the water flows slowly through the coffee and all the flavours are properly extracted. A grind that’s too coarse will result in a weak espresso.

The flavour is determined by the origin, roast and composition of the bean. A blend with robusta adds extra punch and crema, while 100% arabica is often smoother.

Turkish coffee is a traditional type of coffee from the Middle East and the Balkans, in which very finely ground coffee is boiled in a cezve. It is known for its rich flavour and full body.

You make Turkish coffee by putting water, finely ground coffee and, if desired, sugar into a cezve, heating it slowly and pouring it off as soon as it foams. You serve it in a small cup, without stirring.

For Turkish coffee, you use ultra-finely ground coffee, finer than espresso. You can use special Turkish coffee varieties or grind your favourite beans extra fine yourself.

With Turkish coffee, the coffee is boiled without a filter, unlike other methods such as espresso or filter coffee. This makes the flavour more intense and leaves the coffee grounds in the cup.

Because no filter is used, the ground coffee sinks to the bottom of the cup. The coffee grounds are not drunk and remain behind as residue.

Coffee pads are pre-ground coffee in a paper filter sachet, intended for single-serve coffee machines such as Senseo. They are quick and easy to use.

Pads are not the same as cups or capsules. Pads are made of filter paper and work at lower pressure, whereas cups are made of plastic or aluminium and are often for espresso machines.

Coffee pads are suitable for machines such as Senseo or other brands that support single-pad systems. They do not fit in cup or capsule machines.

Many coffee pods are compostable, provided they are made from unbleached paper and contain no plastic. Always check the packaging to see whether they can go in the food and garden waste bin.

Coffee pods offer speed, convenience and consistent flavour without any mess. They are ideal for those who want to make a cup of coffee at the touch of a button.
