Our capsules & specialty coffee deliver a classic espresso shot.
It is advisable to extract a 25ml shot of coffee.
For milk coffees we recommend the following :
Piccolo latte: start with one capsule at 25 ml coffee and add 120 ml of milk.
Latte: use 2 capsules for 50 ml coffee then add 210 ml of milk.
For larger coffees and more milk, you may need to use 3 capsules.
There are 2 options, you can program your Lungo button on your machine to extract additional water up to 120 ml. This will change the intensity and the taste profile of the capsule.
We recommend the coffee shop method of running a normal shot of coffee and topping up with hot water. For stringer long blacks use 2 capsules which will yield 50 ml coffee, poured on top of 180 ml of hot water.
