What is a coffee spoon called?
A demitasse spoon is a diminutive spoon, smaller than a teaspoon. It is traditionally used for coffee drinks in specialty cups, such as a demitasse, and for spooning cappuccino froth. It is also used as a baby spoon, and in some surgical procedures. These little spoons are named for demitasse cups (French for “half-cup”), which is what espresso is usually served in at coffee shops and restaurants.
What is a coffee strainer called?
Learn how to achieve a jug of perfectly brewed coffee using a cafetière. This ‘French press’ acts to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid whilst extracting their rich flavour. Preheat the cafetière with a splash of freshly boiled water and tip it out. Add 1 scoop of coffee per cup. Top with freshly boiled water. Pop the lid on, leaving the plunger up and brew for 4 minutes – if left for any longer, the coffee will over-extract, leaving you with a bitter cup.The cafetière method involves fully immersing the coffee throughout the brew time, meaning a larger, coarse grind is needed. In comparison, an espresso machine, for example, uses pressure to force water through the coffee grounds, so the contact time is much shorter, requiring a fine grind.
