Coffee Vending Machines Shouldn't Be a Last Resort

espresso  machine

When the average person imagines a coffee vending machine, they tend to conjure up an image that is anything but desirable.  Most people think of an old machine that, even when it gets your order just right, produces a drink that is just barely on the right side of tolerability.  For leading coffee companies, however, this image is one that is unnecessary and even inaccurate.  Today's hot drinks vending machines offer the kind of beverages that one would expect to find in a high end coffee shop.  So, what is the secret to great machine coffee?
For a leading coffee vending service, the secret lies in paying attention to every detail.  This means starting with only the best coffee vending supplies, such as bean to cup machines that can make espresso, cappuccino, and more.  It also means using only the finest coffee beans to ensure that the flavour is always consistently excellent.  Coffee suppliers also work to ensure that they use only locally roasted coffee to ensure customers that every cup will be as fresh and delicious as the last.
The notion of coffee machine vending as a last resort for a caffeine fix is certainly on the way out.  Today, more and more businesses are learning about top quality machines and the company behind them.  Finding a company that is committed to environmentally sustainable coffee that tastes great and is easy to produce can make a big difference, and the results are far reaching.  In addition to a new view of machine coffee, employers also find that they gain workers who are actually excited to get to the office.  When your workers feel that they no longer need to leave work to head to the coffee shop, the benefits of great coffee vending become obvious.
Coffee vending machines are certainly a necessity in today's busy world, but that doesn't mean that they should provide an inferior beverage.  Coffee lovers are very serious about their drinks, and they deserve a company that is equally serious about providing the best quality.  When business owners can access a company that is dedicated to quality coffee as they are to efficient machine design, the benefits are limitless.  Today's vending machine coffee is nothing short of a true coffee revolution, and business owners everywhere are quickly becoming aware that bringing the revolution to their company can provide remarkable benefits.

Perfectly Foamed Milk

espresso  machine

With the popularity of milk-based coffees (think cappuccino, flat white, latte, mocha and macchiato), foaming the milk is an extremely important part of making the perfect coffee.  It is a "practice makes perfect" activity, some consider it an art. Your aim is to make a smooth, velvety textured foam to blend with your espresso shot to create a harmony of favours – not a meringue to sit on top! So here's how to create perfectly foamed milk…
Getting started:
1. Fill a small stainless steel jug with cold milk (to no more that halfway as the milk expands in volume). 
2. Purge the steam wand of any water residue by turning the steamer on and off rapidly.
3. Place the jug under the steamer with the steamer wand in the milk before turning the steamer on. (This prevents milk from splattering!)
Heating the milk:
4. Hold the jug so that the tip of the steamer sits below the milk surface and produces a hissing sound, then lift the jug so that the steamer tip is a few millimetres deeper, tilt the jug on an angle and the milk should start to "roll". The hissing should stop and be replaced by a deeper rumbling sound.
5. If the milk is making a "screaming" sound, release some air by raising the steam tip to the surface and quickly re-submersing it.
6. Keep the steamer tip at this depth in the milk by slowly lowering the jug as the volume of milk increases.
7. Heat the milk to between 60 and 70 degrees Celsius. Gauge this by using a thermometer or until the bottom of the jug becomes too hot for your hand to be left there. The rumbling sound should become a low purr.
8. Do not overheat the milk as it will scald and taste bad.
9. Turn the steamer off before taking the jug away (again, to stop milk splattering).
Pouring:
10. Gently tap the milk jug a few times on the bench and swirl it to mix the milk into a consistent lather and remove air.
11. Pour straight away to avoid "layers" forming. 
12. Tilt the cup slightly so the tip of the jug is closer to the espresso surface. Pour with a consistent speed and to the centre of the cup.
13. For a cappuccino, pour a bit more quickly so that the dense part of the milk gets into the cup.
Final Tips:
14. Always wipe the steamer clean after every use for good hygiene.
15. Do not re-heat the milk. Each time it is heated it loses sweetness and body.
Or if this is all too much, you can use the automatic cappuccinatore on the Saeco and Jura machines we supply!

The History of Coffee

espresso  machine

Who would have thought that a berry that was discovered by a herd of goats would be the single most important ingredient in the world’s most popular drink? Legend has it that back in 850AD, a goat herder noticed his herd was full of energy and eating berries he had never noticed. Since the goats seemed to have such a reaction, the herder decided to give it a try! The berries also gave him a burst of energy and he began to feel very happy. Thus, the beginning of the journey for what is now known as coffee!





Actually, the story of the goat herder isn’t the only legend surrounding this discovery. It is also said that an Arabian man was banished to the deserts with his followers to die of starvation. His men became very desperate for nourishment and before long, they were boiling and eating the product of an unknown tree. The broth that was produced by this unknown substance saved the lives of the men! In the nearest town, Mocha, many took their survival to be a religious sign. Because of the discovery, the drink was then named Mocha.





No matter which story you gravitate to, the bottom line is the same: the berries (actually, the seed of the berry) gave energy and zest to all that would consume it! From its earliest beginnings, coffee was thought of as a delicacy and any recipes floating around were considered to be a closely guarded secret!





As time passed, the very first coffee trees were harvested around 1100, in the Arabian Peninsula. The coffee drink became a staple of many early civilizations. In the year 1453, There was a law in Turkey that said that a woman could divorce her husband if he didn’t supply her with a daily supply of coffee!





The very first known coffee shop was established in Constantinople around the year of 1475 and since that initial introduction to the general public, coffee has pretty much taken over the world! Between 1600-1700, there were many advancements, including the world’s first coffee house and the beginnings of commercial production (made by the Dutch). By the middle 1700’s, there were about 2000 coffee shops in Venice, alone!





The first prototype of an espresso machine (made in Italy) was unveiled in the early 1800’s. In the early 1900’s, the first drip coffee machine was invented, making the coffee making process a little less daunting! The automatic espresso maker began its journey in the 1930’s.





By the late 1900’s, coffee became the most popular beverage in the world! The coffee is harvested in many countries, including: Africa, Ethiopia, Brazil, North America, Italy and even Turkey. This kind of crop can also be easily grown and exported by many third world countries, as well. Made to tempt even the pickiest palate, coffee has evolved to include hundreds of flavors and varying grades and prices.

Making An Espresso Coffee Drink

espresso  machine

Coffee drinks are the taste of many tongues. Indeed coffee lovers need coffee anywhere and everywhere- whether at home or at work or for that matter when out for shopping. And espresso is among the best flavors of coffees. The credit for their popularity goes much to their easy availability. Yes, the cup of espresso is easy-to-make (via espresso machine) and too-delicious-to-drink. You can have your favorite sip at a local coffee house. But if you want a unique flavor, make it yourself. So, wanna learn how to make an espresso? It is too simple, just read on to learn!
Literally "espresso" is an extraction of coffee with high pressure from a special espresso machine. You might need some special instructions if your type of espresso machine is different from the other types of machines. But, the basics of making an espresso coffee are indeed the same.
Some foolproof instructions to go about
First of all, get a good quality espresso machine. In case, you are a "real" coffee lover, look for the best espresso machine available in the market. One feature to get in a quality espresso machine is to be sure that it has built-in grinder. I presume you know that the finest grind of beans is the key to make a good coffee.
Take cold and clear water and pour it in your machine's water chamber. You should make it sure that the boiler cap is secure. Give one shot of espresso that is a propos one ounce. To give a double shot, you should give two ounces. In few machines you can also give as much as four shots in one go.
Then, place the basket of coffee in filter holder. You can place a little pack in ground coffee. The filter has a measure for the amount of espresso you are preparing.
Brush off the grounds if any on the top or sides of the filter. Place the filter holder inside the espresso machine.
Keep the present glass carafe of your machine under the spout. You should then turn on the machine. The espresso machine will make the water warm to a proper temperature. Force the water up to the coffee grounds. You can use a cup, if the machine you have doesn't have a carafe.
The brewing of your espresso should take just 15 or 20 seconds. As the coffee starts flowing in the cup, the foam starts forming on the top. The foam has a brown color and is known as Crema. As the foam takes an almost white color, your best tasting liquid is not flowing any longer. It is time to stop now. Remove the cup immediately. Your hot cup of espresso coffee is now in your hands.
A few tips to get the best results
Select and roast the beans particularly for espresso. The beans are available on most of the coffee specialty shops or grocery stores.
To get the best espresso, better buy an espresso grinder. When grinding the beans for espresso, make it sure your grinding machine is efficient enough to give a fine grind.
Use filtered water or bottled spring water. Do not use your tap water if it is hard.

Espresso Coffee Makers to Use at Home

Enjoy Your Espresso And Cappuccino

espresso  machine

In times gone by, everyone made their coffee the same old way. Put the percolator on the stove and wait for it to start to bubble up through the basket of coffee grind.

We all got used to sitting around and watching for the coffee to bubble up and be ready to drink. Now we know that boiling coffee like that is not the best way to brew coffee, but it was all we had then.

Then came the seventies and everything changed, in the coffee world and many others as well. The drip method became the most popular way to brew coffee because it was fast, easy and good. Just put the coffee grounds in a bucket, drip the water over it into a glass pot and you had a great cup of coffee.

Now we have coffee makers with pods that hold the coffee in self contained packets that make it easier and neater, the materials in coffee pots and carafes have changed, we can adjust the brew, and new kinds of spouts that spread the water more evenly, and temperature controls that maintain a perfect 200 degrees F (93C).

Then came the 90's, when the combination of the influence of European culture and American ingenuity led to inexpensive, easy to use espresso machines that produced the same great results. In an espresso machine, hot water is forced through a special blend to produce a unique coffee full of aroma and flavor.

If you add steamed milk to this concoction, you now have cappuccino, or latte. Latte has more milk than coffee. All of these improvements have been a boon to those who love to experiment with coffee.

It sounds awful, but it makes great coffee. The French plunger is becoming popular among those who like European style coffees. A rod, with a handle on one end and a filter on the other goes through a cylinder. The coffee grounds are placed in the container and boiling water poured in; the grounds seep in until the plunger is pressed and yields a dark strong coffee brew.

Another innovation is the vacuum brewer. There are two bowls on top of one another. Heat will force the water up through the top bowl and when the heat is removed, it flows back down into the lower bowl. It creates a nice fresh coffee, and you can serve it directly from the lower bowl.

In actuality, these methods we now consider new hark back to the first days of coffee making. Ibrik, from Turkey, is the first form of coffee making. Heated water is added to ground coffee through a handle with a grooved tongue. Since it is simply water mixed Wit coffee, it es very strong, but the Turks love it.
You can make a great cup of coffee with any of these methods, so try them all and find out which one suits your taste the best.

Coffee Bean Story And How It Became Popular

espresso  machine

This is the story of how the humble coffee becomes a world celebrity. It's not about the Labrador named Coffee Beans attached to the Sheriff's Department sniffing drugs and bombs. It's about "the" coffee beans we are familiar with. It's about the fragrant aroma that stimulates our senses in the morning. The tingling sensation we get when we take the first sip in the morning. How we manage to get an extra boost of energy whenever we feel tired and sleepy. Let us take some time to ponder the processes the coffee beans have to go through before it can be marketed.
Processing The Coffee Beans
After the coffee berries have been harvested, it needs to undergo a process where the flesh of the coffee berries is removed. The coffee berries are placed in special machines separating the flesh from the seed. This coffee seed is commonly called "coffee beans". The coffee beans will now undergo a fermentation process for a period of time. This process is done in order to remove the slimy mucilage coating the coffee beans.
After the coffee beans have undergone the mandatory fermentation, they are thoroughly flushed with clean water. This process is to remove the foul smelling residue due to the fermentation process and the waste water is a main cause of pollutant.
The coffee beans are then dried under the sun or by machines, until the moisture level is about 10% before they can be packed for storage.
Another method of getting to the coffee beans without undergoing the fermentation process is to dry the whole berry in the sun. It normally takes about 10 to 14 days to complete the process with constant raking of the coffee beans to prevent mildew from forming. This method is popular and widely used by coffee producers where water is scarce. The dried flesh is then physically removed leaving only the coffee beans.
The dried coffee beans is then sorted and graded before they can be stored or shipped to buyers. At this stage, the coffee bean is called green coffee beans.
Sometimes the coffee beans will undergo an additional aging process. The reason for this is because when coffee was first introduced into Europe, the coffee beans have undergone a journey of about six months. Europeans have already developed a preference for this taste and therefore to simulate the taste, the coffee beans are further aged.
Roasting The Coffee Beans
Roasting is the final process the coffee beans have to undergo before they are commercially marketed. It is also possible to purchase un-roasted coffee beans that you can personally roast them yourself.
When the coffee beans are subjected to heat, there's a chemical reaction happening within the coffee beans where the sugar and acid will begin to react releasing its aroma. The coffee beans will turn darker due to caramelized sucrose. When this happens, the coffee beans are quickly cooled to prevent damage to the coffee beans.
When roasting the green coffee beans, a lot of carbon dioxide is released as a by-product. The carbon dioxide helps to "seal" the coffee beans from loosing its flavor and aroma. Depending on how the coffee beans are stored, it may take some time before the optimum peak flavor. After reaching its peak, it will start loosing its flavor again.
If you are trying to roast your own coffee beans at home, be aware that you may not be successful during the first few times. You might over-burn your coffee beans during your first few tries. Never be discouraged, but try until you get the taste and flavor that appeals to you. Remember to process in small amounts to maintain freshness of your coffee.
Grinding The Coffee Beans
Before the roasted coffee beans can be used, you need to grind the coffee beans first. The coarseness of your coffee depends on your preference and the type of coffee-brewing method. It can range from coarse to very fine as in the Turkish grind. For example, if you're using a percolator, a course coffee powder is suitable but if you are using an Espresso machines, an extra fine coffee powder is required.
Conclusion
The coffee beans have to undergo a string of processes before it can be consumed. The final flavor of the coffee depends on the journey the coffee beans take in order to reach its final form. Different methods and different techniques will give rise to a varied coffee flavor. This is the reason why there are so many flavors to the simple coffee bean.

Espresso Machine

espresso  machine


National Debt Relief Program
Espresso Machine
Just as there are many different kinds of espresso flavors and drinks on the market today, so too are there just as many different ways to make an espresso beverage. The main difference, however, in making an espresso base coffee beverage lies in the machine that is used to make it. There are many types of espresso machines on the market today and buying the right one is crucial to having the best espresso beverage for yourself and the other individuals you have purchased the machine for. Many people use an espresso machine in their business, and coffee shops are the perfect example of businesses that typically invest in espresso machines.
Altogether, though, there are more than five different types of espresso machines and the taste of the espresso is probably slightly different when made from each one even though the process of making the espresso is essentially the same. The more popular type of espresso machine that is used throughout America coffee shops and breakfast restaurants, though, is the pump-driven espresso machine that is made from the piston espresso machine! This type of espresso machine is interesting because it basically streamlines the whole espresso-making process and makes the process of getting espresso very simple! In fact, many of these types of American espresso machines are automatic, which means that a single button just has to be pushed in order to get some espresso out of it!
On the other hand, people in other countries routinely use the stovetop espresso machine. This is a machine that, as the name states, sits on your stove and produces espresso. However, the method of doing so is interesting because these types of machines are true steam-driven espresso machines. Hot water is heated in the bottom of the machine, which is forced up to the middle of the espresso machine where the actual beverage is made!
When buying the right espresso machine, though, you'll probably first and foremost want to invest in one of the easiest espresso machines, which is a pump-driven or even motor-driven espresso machine. All of these espresso machines can be quite expensive, but depending on how enthusiastic you are about your favorite coffee beverage will probably dictate how much money you're willing to spend. For starters, though, an inexpensive espresso machine around $150 may be just the perfect one to start with.
An issue, though, when buying the right kind of espresso machine is to make sure that it allows you to have the most control over your espresso as possible. For example, does it have different settings for the grinding of the coffee beans? In addition, is the espresso machine that you are interested in contain an automatic whipped cream dispenser, along with a timer for the espresso? All of these things are important, though, when buying the right type of espresso machine, and if you are an avid espresso drinker then you probably will want to invest in the best possible espresso machine possible to suit your tastes!

Buying an Espresso Machine for Your Coffee Shop

Just like buying fresh roasted gourmet coffee beans to use, the espresso machine is the other Mack daddy of your whole coffee business.  It is your life blood so in other words: DO NOT SKIMP ON IT!  However, having said that when you are opening a coffee shop there is the line of overkill you do not need to cross either and that depends on your anticipated sales volume.  I say, two group maximum, if you need more power or want a backup, get a one group as well.

Brewing Coffee with Coffee Machines

The process of brewing coffee is considered by many to be an art form. As such, the equipment that is used at every stage of the process is imperative in determining the final result. Coffee can be made using any one of many methods; coffee can be boiled, steeped, or pressured.



Percolators or automatic coffee-makers utilise the effect of gravity in order to brew coffee. In these machines, hot water is allowed to drip onto coffee grounds that are held in a coffee filter. This filter is either made of paper or perforated metal and allows the water to pass through the ground coffee, thereby creating a liquid infused with the aromas and taste of the ground coffee beans.



Coffee may also be brewed using other methods. One such example is to brew coffee by using a device known as a French press. In this method, ground coffee and hot water are combined in a coffee press and left to brew for a set period of time. A plunger is then used to remove the coffee from the container, leaving the ground coffee at the bottom of the device.



An espresso machine forces hot, pressurised water through ground coffee. This method of brewing under high pressure means that the final product has as much as 10 to 15 times the amount of coffee to water ratio as coffee brewed using other methods.



All of these coffee brewing products are available at Witham’s Coffee. To find out more about coffee machines and coffee machine related equipment, visit http://withams.com.au/

Kitchen Carts Versus Kitchen Islands

Are you ready to make a fantastic addition to your kitchen? You owe it to yourself and your overworked kitchen to bring in a kitchen island! These units are great because they provide you with essential counter space. Do you find yourself trying to balance different ingredients on top of the refrigerator and along the rim of the sink? The kitchen today is so full of appliances (microwave, toaster, espresso machine), that the counter space disappears completely. No wonder microwave meals are so popular; people do not have the space to prepare a home-cooked dish!

Nespresso D90/S1 Essenza Single-Serve Manual Espresso Machine

espresso  machine

We all have our very little passions. Over the years, I actually have devoted an excessive amount of time, money, and study to perfecting the art of constructing the right occasional and espresso. I searched the globe (and the internet) for the most effective beans, grinders, equipment, and even tried roasting my very own beans and have become able to turn out higher potions that one will ever realize within the occasional boutiques. Still, because it seems, my efforts were in vain. The Nespresso Essenza (and in all probability the opposite Nespresso machines similar in design) produces the right cup and also the easy doing therefore, sadly, puts my efforts to shame.
The secret appears to be within the robust pumping mechanism (19 bars of pressure, same as their costlier machines) and their excellent occasional capsules. once being such a stickler for the freshest roasted estate grown beans, I balked at the utilization of capsules and thought of it the occasional for dummies approach. I additionally thought that they could be reasonably similar in quality to the occasional "pods" employed in the new single serve occasional machines, that vary from unhealthy (for the manufacturer and supermarket brands) to solely fairly sensible (for the most effective of the gourmand, limited-edition pods at over $1 each).
Against all odds, the Nespresso pods are pure magic. I ordered new pods quickly, however even the sampler pods that came with the machine were unbelievable, despite being past their "best before" expiration date. i am equally mystified on how they'll have regarding twelve varieties and most be exquisite, despite noticeable variations not solely in strength however in flavor. The "lungo"capsules are fantastic (these turn out four ounces of coffee-espresso rather than the classic one to a pair of ounce espresso). Being a fan of espresso and extremely dark occasional, I wasn't therefore impressed with the 2 or 3 pods weakest in strength, however those that like ancient yank occasional would possibly like them.
