Coffee Appreciation

winston When I worked in a restaurant, we'd fire up the machine, then make five or so cups and chuck them out.....because the first ones taste horrible...if this applies to home machines, you'll spend a lot on coffee or never get a good cup unless you drink loads...

Higher roast coffee may taste strong but has less caffeine in it.

most of the commercial ones have an anti scaling unit on the pump that if left to stand for a couple of hours will taint the first cups of coffee.

Home machines don't have this so you don't tend to get that problem
