Make Beautiful Coffee - Wednesday 1st April 2015
Approximate $ Savings: $3.00 per cup
At our home we have expresso coffee every day, it is lunch time I look forward to every day for this reason, the coffee! I have a stovetop coffee expresso maker that can be used on an electric or gas cooktop. These can be purchased in kitchen or homemaker stores, the stainless steel model is probably better than the aluminium make.
Undo the expresso maker, fill water to the bottom section up to the bolt, put in the filter, fill with your favourite coffee grounds, level off, and then screw the top on and tighten well. Put on the cooktop on a low setting, wait for the coffee to come up, when the coffeemaker stops making a steaming noise all the coffee has come up and you can turn off the heat.
Serve your coffee how you like it, short black or café latte. I love to have a café latte every day, which is about 1/3 coffee and 2/3 milk. Either the milk can be separately heated, or I pour in cold milk from the fridge and put the complete cup in the microwave for 50 to 60 seconds.
The leftover coffee (there will be heaps) can be poured into a long tall glass jar with a metal lid (recycled passata jars are perfect) and used for the next 2-3 days etc.
My whole family loves this coffee and I must say it doesn't last that long in the fridge. My mother-in-law who is a lovely woman gave me a coffee maker when we got engaged, and we have just celebrated our 30th anniversary and the coffee maker has just died. Last year I purchased a new one from "House". The coffee makers last a long time, but it is better not to put them in the dishwasher. The initial cost is expensive but it is worth the investment.
When we go on holidays I make up a batch of coffee, pour the coffee into a microwave jug, add the milk until colour looks good, put in the microwave until steaming hot, add the sugar, return to the microwave until steaming hot again, stir with a whisk, taste, if good pour into a preheated thermos, and tighten lid. This saves us heaps when travelling, as I always take the food as well. When we stop to eat and drink It saves us 4 takeaway meals and drinks. The good food and coffee and the break also makes the journey safer also!
