Attention to etiquette<\/strong> should not be lacking in any area of our lives.<\/span>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, good manners are often overlooked but, in fact, every context has its own rules of behaviour.<\/strong> Even for simple things, such as serving coffee at home or at the bar<\/strong>, there are rules of good manners that must be followed. Let’s find out what they are.<\/span>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the correct way to serve coffee?<\/span><\/em>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first basic rule of coffee etiquette at the bar<\/strong> is to always start with a good quality product.<\/strong><\/span>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine the disappointment of a guest or customer in a bar who is served a coffee with the right accessories, friendliness and good manners but which tastes terrible.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, choosing a good raw material and using an espresso machine<\/strong><\/a> that can extract a tasteful drink are the basis.<\/span>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance of the equipment<\/strong> is also important, as a well-maintained machine and a clean portafilter preserve the characteristics of the blend<\/strong> every time coffee is prepared.<\/span>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cup or glass<\/strong> is chosen according to the taste of the guest. In any case, it is a good idea to fill them two-thirds full and clean the edges of splashes and dust before serving the coffee. <\/span>The matching saucer,<\/strong> on which the spoon should be placed, is a must-have and should never be missing. One recommendation is to place the spoon on the cup, always to the right of the guest.<\/span>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is a convivial moment and, to serve it at its best, it must always be accompanied by courtesy<\/strong> and attention.<\/span>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also bear in mind that water goes perfectly with coffee<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is said that true connoisseurs drink a little water before sipping coffee, to better savour the aroma. While those who only drink coffee out of habit drink it afterwards to remove the bitter taste.<\/span><\/i>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want your customers to feel spoilt and remember the difference between your caf\u00e9 and an ordinary caf\u00e9, offer a chocolate<\/strong> or a sweet next to the cup. The full-bodied taste of coffee goes well with something sweet.<\/span>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is generally a hot drink, unless you prefer cold versions<\/a><\/strong>. So it is important to serve it fresh from the coffee machine.<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At breakfast time, don’t forget a small pot of milk<\/strong>. Many people like to stain their coffee in the morning.<\/span>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to prepare and serve coffee at the bar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want your customers to remember your establishment for its impeccable manners, here are the steps to follow when serving coffee at the bar:<\/strong><\/span>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Once you have received your order, remove the filter holder from the professional coffee machine and empty the filter so that no residue remains;\n<\/li>
  2. Place the coffee powder in the filter through a dispenser and press the powder with the hand press. Be careful not to apply too little pressure or too much.\n<\/li>
  3. Re-attach the arm to the dispenser and turn it to the right, making sure it is tightened properly.\n<\/li>
  4. Take the cups from the handles and check that they are clean, then place them under the group.\n<\/li>
  5. Switch on the espresso machine and wait for the drink to be extracted. Consider that the correct time for dispensing is 25 seconds.<\/li>
  6. Prepare the tray and spoon to serve the customers and stop dispensing.\n<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Always pay attention to the cleanliness of the equipment<\/strong>. Coffee residues can compromise and alter the taste of the drink.<\/span>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In order to preserve the organoleptic characteristics<\/strong> of coffee, it is a good idea to grind the beans<\/strong> just before use, as coffee beans<\/strong><\/a> tend to spoil less than powdered coffee.\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When serving coffee, remember to clean the bottom of the cup and place the cup and saucer gently in front of the customer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to serve coffee to guests at home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Inviting a friend over for coffee or serving coffee to guests at home after a meal is not very demanding and is a pleasant way to make conversation and spend time with friends. Even in this case, however, you need to follow a few rules of behaviour to be a good host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As we have mentioned, the first element to pay attention to is the quality of the drink. So, start now by buying a good quality coffee, in powder or beans, and choose the right professional coffee machine<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Consider that the Pontevecchio lever coffee machine<\/a><\/strong> allows you to have a great success thanks to a full-bodied coffee<\/strong> with a unique aroma.<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, our coffee machines have a retro design and are available in a wide range of colours that perfectly match any type of furniture.<\/span>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This allows you to look great in front of your guests and make your home a sort of caf\u00e9 where you can spend time with friends.<\/span>\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
