Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I descale my coffee maker?
The frequency of descaling your coffee maker depends on its usage and the hardness of the water. If your water is hard, it is recommended to descale your coffee maker every month, while for soft water, descaling every three months is sufficient.
What is the most effective method to descale my coffee maker?
Use a suitable liquid descaler for coffee makers, ensuring it is compatible with your device.
What is an espresso?
An espresso is a small shot of very concentrated coffee.
What is the shelf life of coffee beans?
The expiration date of coffee beans is indicated on the packaging and applies as long as the bag remains sealed.
How should I store my coffee?
It is recommended to store coffee in a clean, airtight container, such as a coffee canister.
How does the grind size affect the taste of coffee?
