Without further ado let’s jump in on how to Breville coffee machine one touch

What Drinks Can The Breville One Touch Make?

ESPRESSO

A unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through finely ground coffee.

Popular in Europe, it is a far richer and more full-bodied brew than regular drip coffee. Because of its richness, espresso is usually served in 45 to 60 ml (1.5 to 2 oz.) portions, in demitasse cups.

CAPPUCCINO

A drink made with about 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, and 1/3 frothed milk.

LATTE

A drink made with about 1/4 espresso and 3/4 steamed milk. When this unit is used, some parts and accessories get hot and need to cool down.

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the long life of the Breville One-Touch CoffeeHouse and its trouble-free operation.

Your Breville One-Touch CoffeeHouse can be used with ground coffee as well as E.S.E. pods (45 mm), making it exceptionally practical and versatile to prepare single shots of espresso, cappuccino, and latte.

What Coffee And Grind To Use In Breville One Touch?

Selecting the right coffee:

• The coffee should be freshly ground and dark roasted. You may want to try a French or Italian roast ground for espresso.

• Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavor for 7 – 8 days, provided it is stored in an airtight container and in a cool, dark area.

• Do not store in a refrigerator or freezer. Whole beans are recommended to be ground just before use.

• Coffee beans stored in an airtight container will preserve the flavor for up to 4 weeks.

Selecting the right grind:

This is a vital step in the espresso-making process if you are grinding your own coffee. It may require practice. The coffee must be of a fine grind.

• The correct grind should look like table salt.

• If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under high pressure. These grinds look like powder and feel like flour when rubbed between fingers.

• If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too fast, preventing a full-flavored extraction. Be sure to use a quality grinder for uniform consistency
