Tips for a great coffee
ⓘ Tip 1 - For a strong coffee
When brewing with our mlovepod capsules, we suggest 2 pods per brew for a richer and flavoursome cup.
You can expand your mlovepod capsule collection by adding a OnePod or TwoPod.
ⓘ Tip 2 - Tamper pressure
Tampering plays an important role in the brewing of a good coffee as the taste changes depending on the amount of pressure you apply:
- Play with the tampering pressure until you find the right balance.
- Try not to over-tamper the coffee in the capsule especially if you are using an espresso blend, which is finely ground.
- Pressure depends on the size of the grind, which varies from coffee to coffee.
- After a few tries, you’ll find the right pressure-to-taste balance that's just right for you.
ⓘ Tip 3 - Improve the quality of the brew
Prior to every brew, run just hot water without a capsule, this will better heat up your machine and keep it clean. For a more enjoyable cup of coffee pre-infuse the coffee in the capsule by:
- Pressing the brew button
- Letting it run until a drop or two of coffee drip out
- Press the brew button again to stop the brew
- Wait a few seconds and then press it again to complete the full brew.
ⓘ Tip 4 - Coffee grind
Avoid too finely ground coffee, we recommend a medium-fine grind coffee.
