What is specialty coffee?
Specialty coffee is coffee of the highest quality, evaluated on flavor, origin, processing, and roasting. To be officially recognized as ‘specialty,’ the coffee must score at least 80 out of 100 points on the quality standard of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).
This means: no defective beans, optimal ripeness at harvest, careful processing, and a roast that highlights the unique flavor profile of the bean. You can taste the difference in the cup: more complex, brighter, with notes of, for example, red fruit, citrus, chocolate, or flowers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which coffee maker is best for beginners?
For beginners, we recommend a French press or a manual pour-over set (such as a Hario V60). These methods are easy to use and give you full control over the flavor of your coffee. If you are looking for convenience, a fully automatic espresso machine is a good choice.
What is the difference between an espresso machine and a drip coffee maker?
An espresso machine uses high pressure (9 bar or more) to brew concentrated coffee, resulting in a full and creamy flavor. A filter coffee maker works with a slow extraction and produces a softer, more subtle taste. The choice depends on your preference: strong espresso or aromatic filter coffee.
How do I maintain my coffee machine for the best taste?
Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of your machine and improves coffee quality. Follow these steps:
Descale the machine every 4-6 weeks (depending on water hardness).
Clean the brew group and filters regularly.
Use filtered water to reduce limescale buildup.
Replace grinder burrs after prolonged use for consistent grinding.
What grind size should I use for my coffee maker?
The right grind size depends on your brewing method:
Espresso: Fine grind (like powdered sugar).
French Press: Coarse (like sea salt).
Hario V60/Pourover: Medium-fine (like granulated sugar).
Drip coffee maker: Medium (like sand).
The right grind ensures perfect extraction and flavor.
