A repeatable morning coffee routine
From preparing the machine to grinding, tasting and cleaning, build a calm coffee routine you can repeat each morning.
Get the equipment ready
Check the water supply and follow your machine instructions until it is ready. Allow the group head and portafilter to warm up as required. Keep the cup, basket and weighing tools within easy reach so preparation feels more relaxed.
Grind fresh and keep a simple record
Grind the beans you need for the next brew and aim to keep the dose and beverage yield consistent. Note the coffee, grind setting and taste. When you want to adjust the next cup, change one variable at a time so the difference is easier to understand.
Make a moment for tasting
Notice the aroma before taking a sip. Use your own words to describe strength, sweetness and the finish. There is no need to turn every cup into a complicated scorecard. Aim for a taste you enjoy and can make again.
Make cleaning part of the routine
Clean the basket, portafilter and drip tray after use. After preparing milk drinks, wipe and purge the steam wand as directed in the manual. Cleaning and descaling are different tasks; use the method and interval specified for your model.
