It is better not to store coffee beans in the fridge, as they quickly absorb moisture and odours. The freezer is suitable for long-term storage, but make sure to use good, airtight packaging.

Coffee beans remain fresh for up to 4 weeks after opening if stored properly. Whole beans retain their flavour longer than ground coffee, as the oils and aromas dissipate less quickly.

An opaque, airtight container with a one-way valve is ideal. This valve allows CO₂ to escape without letting oxygen reach the beans, keeping them fresher for longer.

Yes! Over time, beans lose their aroma and become less flavourful. Make sure to use your beans within 4-6 weeks of the roast date for the best taste experience.

Whole beans stay fresh longer than ground coffee. Ground coffee oxidises more quickly, causing the flavour and aromas to dissipate faster. So grind your coffee just before use for the best taste!

A Caffè Macchiato is an espresso with a small amount of milk foam, while a Latte Macchiato mainly consists of milk with a shot of espresso on top.

A Caffè Macchiato has a stronger coffee flavour, as it is mainly espresso with just a small amount of milk foam. A Latte Macchiato is milder, as it contains more milk.

A Caffè Macchiato is served in a small espresso cup (60-90 ml) and contains one or two shots of espresso with a dollop of milk foam on top.

A Latte Macchiato is served in a tall glass (250-300 ml) and has three layers: warm milk at the bottom, espresso in the middle, and a layer of foam on top.

A Latte Macchiato is the best choice if you enjoy a mild, creamy coffee. The large amount of milk softens the taste of the espresso.

A Latte Macchiato is ideal for combining with syrups such as caramel, vanilla or hazelnut, as the milk beautifully balances the sweet flavour.

An Americano is an espresso diluted with hot water, giving the coffee a milder and less concentrated flavour than a regular espresso, but still retaining its rich aroma.

An Americano is made by adding hot water to espresso, while filter coffee is brewed more slowly using a filter method such as a V60, Chemex or coffee maker. Filter coffee often has a subtler and cleaner taste.

Usually, 60 ml of espresso is mixed with 120-150 ml of hot water. This results in a balanced flavour without the coffee becoming too weak.

For a traditional Americano, you first pour the espresso and then add the hot water. This helps to better preserve the crema. If you pour the hot water first and then the espresso, it is called a "Long Black".
