Hey!
Im brand new to this world of coffee, and Im feeling a little confused! :-?
I have a function on my machine to prebrew, and I was wondering if I could ask the experts a couple of questions...
1. Do I keep the prebrew liquid in the cup or chuck it out?
2. If a shot is meant to be 25-30mL, does that include prebrew or is that on top of prebrew (assuming I keep it).
3. Where does crema fit in to all this? Does the 25-30mL include crema?
4. And just one more thing...Ive read that a latte should have 1 fifth espresso, 3 fifths milk and 1 fifth foam. Well, my latte glasses are 250mL, so 50mL should be espresso right? Should I put in 2 shots or should I let the machine run longer with 1 shot?
Forgive my naivety, I am a lowly newbie. Nowhere near snob yet! Maybe one day
Thanks!
