In any café business, it’s up to the owner to set the standards required for a successful enterprise. Café owners need to take it upon themselves to learn not just the basics of commercial-level espresso making, but the nuances which separate good from great coffee.

Coffee tasting and appreciation can turn the simple act of drinking coffee into a richer experience. Drinking coffee and tasting it are two distinct acts, and through the practice of cupping, anyone can enhance their enjoyment of coffee. Whether you’re a coffee professional or a home enthusiast, there is no better way to understand and explore your passion than by developing your ability to examine a coffee’s unique characteristics in-depth.

It’s said that cleanliness is next to godliness and using this mantra in coffee making will ensure maintenance of a high standard. Just as using expertly roasted specialty coffee is important, working with well maintained equipment will mean nothing stands between the beans and a delicious cup of espresso.
