NL Welcome to Amsterdam’s coffee scene!
In this blog, you'll learn how to make delicious espresso at home by choosing the tastiest coffee beans in Amsterdam, optimally adjusting your equipment, and discovering cozy cafés worth visiting.
Quality Beans
Look for specialty beans at small local roasters or in great coffee bars. Each region and roasting style offers different flavors—ranging from nutty and chocolatey to fruity and floral. I like to buy beans in Amsterdam shops: that way I can discover new varieties and support local entrepreneurs at the same time.
Coffee equipment
Discover the essentials of brewing espresso at home, focusing on selecting the right espresso machine and coffee grinder, and understanding key parameters like temperature, pressure, and extraction time. Master grind size and duration, and learn to tamp and calibrate your portafilter for balanced flavor. By adjusting one variable at a time, you can refine your technique, maintain consistency, and truly unlock flavors in every shot.
