Why is your coffee lukewarm? Tips to increase the temperature of your drink
A coffee at the ideal temperature is essential to fully enjoy its aromas. If your coffee is often lukewarm, several factors may be the cause. Here are some tips to savor a nice hot drink.
1. Preheat your cup
Importance of preheating
A cold cup absorbs the heat from your coffee, cooling it down quickly. To avoid this, rinse your cup with hot water before pouring your drink into it.
2. Use a high-performance coffee machine
Choosing a suitable machine
Opt for a machine capable of delivering high pressure, such as the Nescafé Dolce Gusto Krups Genio S Plus, which offers pressure up to 15 bars for professional quality drinks.
Advanced features
This machine offers advanced temperature control with four settings, allowing you to customize the heat of your coffee according to your preferences. Additionally, the Espresso Boost technology allows for an even more intense and concentrated espresso.
3. Check the water temperature
Optimal temperature
Water that is too cold or too hot can alter the taste of coffee. Make sure your machine heats the water to an appropriate temperature for optimal extraction.
4. Maintain your machine regularly
Importance of descaling
Limescale can affect the performance of your machine and the temperature of your coffee. Regular maintenance, including descaling, is essential. The Genio S Plus is equipped with an automatic LED descaling alert that lets you know when descaling is necessary.
5. Use quality capsules
Impact on temperature
Low-quality capsules can lead to inadequate extraction and lukewarm coffee. Use compatible and high-quality capsules to ensure a hot and flavorful beverage.
6. Prepare larger-sized drinks
XL function
The Genio S Plus offers an XL function that provides adjustable drink sizes, from short coffees to XL coffees (up to 300 ml). Simply turn the intuitive LED control ring to choose your preferred size.
By following these tips, you can enjoy coffee at the ideal temperature, fully revealing its aromas and flavors.
