What are the material and the dimensions of the Café du Jour coffee cup and saucer?

The cup and saucer are made of heavy porcelain. That thicker porcelain absorbs heat and keeps your coffee hot for longer than thin tableware.

In our product data the item is listed at about 12 by 12 by 7 centimetres, with the saucer determining the width and the cup the height. Allow for about 250 grams per set.

Do these cleaning tablets fit my Bosch or Siemens coffee machine?

These are the original cleaning tablets for Bosch, Siemens, Gaggenau and Neff, with EAN 4242005126545. They are intended for fully automatic and semi-automatic coffee machines, coffee pod machines and coffee makers. You get 10 tablets per pack. If you are not sure whether your model has a cleaning programme with a tablet, check your machine's manual; we cannot guarantee that they are suitable for other brands.

How should you brew Chun Mee green tea?

We recommend about 2 grams of loose tea per cup, which is a generous teaspoon. Use water at about 80 degrees and let the leaves steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Boiling water quickly makes green tea bitter, so let boiled water cool down for a moment first. If you find this tea too strong, shorten the steeping time rather than using less tea.

What does the Gina caffè crema taste like and where do the beans come from?

The Gina caffè crema has a full layer of crema. We describe the taste as chocolatey and nutty, with a medium roast and a firm intensity. These are arabica beans from Brazil; the coffee is produced in Austria. Besides caffè crema and espresso, this blend also lends itself well to cappuccino.

How do you brew Pure Rooibos and how long should it steep?

Use about 2 grams of loose rooibos per cup, roughly a level teaspoon, and pour boiling water over it. Let the tea steep for 5 to 7 minutes. Rooibos is low in tannins and therefore does not turn bitter quickly: if you leave it longer, you mainly get a fuller cup. Because this is loose tea, you need a tea strainer, tea filter or tea ball.

What material is the Café du Jour cappuccino cup and saucer made of?

The cup and saucer are made of heavy porcelain. That thicker porcelain absorbs heat and keeps your cappuccino hot for longer than thin crockery.

We advise rinsing the cup with hot water first. A preheated cup does not draw the heat out of your coffee.

Where does the Caffè Hausbrandt Superbar come from?

Hausbrandt is a coffee roaster from Trieste in Italy and has been making typically Italian blends there since 1892. The Superbar is roasted in Italy. The green beans in this blend come from Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia and India.

Can you also use these stainless steel straws in hot drinks?

Yes, these straws are suitable for hot and cold drinks. Do bear in mind that stainless steel conducts heat, so in a hot drink the straw quickly feels warm. That is why you should let a freshly made tea or coffee cool down a little before you use the straw.

Is the coffee in the Gina tasting pack suitable for a bean-to-cup machine?

Yes. The Gina Caffè Crema is suitable for both semi-automatic and fully automatic coffee machines and the Gina Wiener Kaffee is very well suited to bean-to-cup machines.

Because these are whole beans, you can also grind them yourself for a filter machine or espresso machine. In that case choose the right grind size: filter grind for a pour-over and espresso grind for an espresso machine.

Where does the coffee in the Julius Meinl Espresso Premium Collection come from?

The beans come from Brazil and Central America, including Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Nicaragua. The blend is roasted in the Viennese coffee house tradition. Julius Meinl has been roasting coffee in Austria since 1862.

How do I store Landhaus Klassisch ground coffee once it has been opened?

Ground coffee loses its aroma mainly through air, light, moisture and heat. Seal the bag properly after use, roll it up tightly or tip the coffee into an airtight tin, and keep it somewhere dark in the cupboard.

Do not store coffee in the fridge: there it takes on moisture and the smells of other food. Unopened, the coffee keeps until the date on the packaging. Once opened, it tastes best within two to four weeks.

How many cups of coffee will I get from 500 grams of Landhaus Naturmild?

The usual dose for filter coffee is 6 to 7 grams per 125 ml cup, about one level measuring spoon. That gives you roughly 70 to 80 cups from 500 grams, or around ten full jugs.

Because Naturmild is a soft blend, some people use a slightly more generous dose. If you find the coffee too weak, add a gram or two per cup rather than running more water through the same amount of coffee.

Which coffee machines is Landhaus Entkoffeiniert suitable for?

Landhaus Entkoffeiniert has a filter grind, which makes it ideal for the classic filter coffee machine and for percolators. Simply spoon the coffee into a paper or permanent filter and let the machine do the rest.

It is too coarse for an espresso machine: the water runs through too quickly and the coffee ends up thin and sour. It does work in a cafetière (French press), but because the grind is relatively fine you will get more sediment in your cup. In that case, brew it for a little less time and pour carefully.

How many cups of coffee will I get from 500 grams of Gala Mild Aroma?

The usual dose for filter coffee is 6 to 7 grams per 125 ml cup, about one level measuring spoon. That gives you roughly 70 to 80 cups from 500 grams, or around ten full jugs.

If you find the coffee too weak, add a gram or two extra per cup rather than running more water through the same amount of coffee. That last approach makes the cup thinner, not stronger.

How many pods are in a bag of Gala Regular and how many do I use per cup?

There are 56 pods in a bag. For an ordinary cup of coffee you use one pod in the 1-cup holder. If you want two cups at once, or one large mug, use two pods in the 2-cup holder.

Making two cups at a time, a bag will therefore last you 28 rounds. If you drink a couple of cups a day at home, that works out at roughly two to four weeks.
