Why should mulled wine not be boiled?

Always heat mulled wine over a low heat and do not let it come to the boil. Boiling makes the wine lose both flavour and alcohol. You want the spices to steep gently in hot, but not boiling, wine.

Which coffee drinks is the Melitta Barista Classic Crema best used for?

This blend is made for caffè crema, lungo and americano, and it also performs well as an espresso.

In milk drinks such as cappuccino and latte macchiato the aroma holds up well, because the body of the robusta can stand up to the milk.

Is L'OR Harmonieux Espresso suitable for my bean to cup machine?

Yes. These are whole coffee beans in a 1 kilo bag, so you can pour them straight into the bean hopper of your bean to cup machine. They also work well if you grind them yourself for an espresso machine.

Do note that you receive whole beans and not ground coffee. If you have an appliance that requires ground coffee, grind the beans yourself to the right grind size.

How do you make Christmas Rooibos loose leaf tea?

Use about 2 grams of loose tea per cup, which is roughly a level teaspoon. Rooibos can be brewed with hot water just off the boil and you let it steep for 5 to 7 minutes. Rooibos does not turn bitter quickly, so a longer steeping time is not a problem. Because this is loose leaf tea, you need a tea strainer, a tea filter or tea tongs.

Which grind size and dose do you use for Lazarro Espresso beans?

For a classic espresso you use a fine grind size. For a lungo, set the grind size a little coarser or extend the extraction time. Allow around 16 to 20 grams of ground coffee for a double espresso.

If your espresso tastes too bitter, grind a little coarser or let it run through for a shorter time. If it is too sour, grind finer, use a slightly higher dose or set the temperature a bit higher.

Which brewing methods is the Café du Jour Zomerkoffie suitable for?

According to our product data this blend is suitable for a bean to cup machine, a semi automatic machine, a filter machine, a cafetiere and a percolator.

In terms of drinks it comes into its own as espresso, filter coffee, lungo, crema, cappuccino and latte. Thanks to its balanced character and fine body, the Zomerkoffie can be used in many ways.

Are the mesh tea tongs dishwasher safe?

Yes, these tea tongs are dishwasher friendly. We do recommend tapping or rinsing out loose tea remains first, so that no leaves stay caught in the mesh. For daily use, a quick rinse with warm water is enough.

Which coffee drinks is L'OR Elegant Espresso suitable for?

These beans work perfectly for lungo, caffe crema and a mild cappuccino. Thanks to the light, fruity profile the coffee stays pleasantly smooth in milk drinks too.

These are whole beans, so you can put them in the bean hopper of a bean to cup machine or grind them yourself for your espresso machine.

What does the illy Arabica Selection Costa Rica taste like?

This single origin from Costa Rica tastes smooth and round, with sweet notes of honey, caramel and vanilla, fresh citrus accents and a subtle hint of chocolate and dried fruit.

Our product data lists the flavour profile as nutty and honey, with intensity 5 (normal). That makes this a milder coffee than a robust espresso blend.

What makes the AeroPress Clear different from the other AeroPress models?

The AeroPress Clear is made of crystal clear, break resistant Tritan. That lets you see exactly what happens while brewing, which makes dosing and timing easier.

Apart from that it works on the same 3 in 1 principle as the other AeroPress models: immersion, microfiltration and air pressure in a short preparation. The material is BPA free and the AeroPress Clear is dishwasher safe.

What does the MAXTRA PRO cartridge in the BRITA Aluna filter out of tap water?

The MAXTRA PRO filter reduces limescale and chlorine, metals such as lead and copper, and traces of pesticides and medicines in tap water.

The result is softer water with a more neutral taste, which you notice in coffee and tea and which is also pleasant to cook with. Less limescale in the water also means less scale build-up in your kettle or coffee maker.

Is the Gimoka Gusto Ricco suitable for a bean to cup machine?

Yes. According to our product data this coffee is suitable for a bean to cup machine and a semi-automatic machine, and in addition for filter coffee, cafetiere and percolator if you grind it yourself.

You get whole beans in a 1 kilo bag with a medium roast, so no dark, oily beans.

What does the Costa Coffee Caffe Crema Original Blend taste like?

As an espresso, this coffee shows notes of dark chocolate with a hint of orange peel. Add milk and the coffee softens, bringing out notes of caramel and nuts. That makes this blend a pleasant base for milk drinks such as a caffe latte or a cappuccino. Because of the dark roast profile it is not a mild coffee, but one with a full and pronounced character.

Does the JoeFrex knock box fit my espresso machine?

The knock box is not tied to a brand or machine type. It is a separate box that you put next to your espresso machine and knock the coffee grounds from your portafilter into.

With outer dimensions of 14 x 14 x 14 cm this is a compact box that fits on almost any worktop. If you want to place it under a kitchen cabinet or next to a large machine, measure the free space first.

What does the Costa Coffee Character Bright Blend Medium Roast taste like?

This is a one hundred percent Arabica coffee with a light and lively character. Thanks to the medium roast you taste soft notes of milk chocolate with fresh accents of citrus and red apple.

The intensity is 6, which we classify as regular, so mild but aromatic. That makes it suitable for black coffee and for gentle milk drinks such as flat white and cappuccino.
