Common mistakes when making coffee in a coffee machine
One of the main mistakes is considered to be improper grinding of grains. If it is too fine, the taste will ultimately be unpleasantly bitter; if it is too large, the coffee will sour. Therefore, you need to select an average grind size, while making sure that the powder is homogeneous.
The next mistake is using old grains that have expired. Such ingredients are not suitable for cooking. They will completely ruin the drink, although they may seem suitable. Some also use tap water in preparation. This is one of the most common mistakes. Water affects the taste of the resulting drink, therefore, in order not to spoil the coffee with other taste impurities, you should use filtered, purified water.
After all, the capabilities of this technology are so great that you can drink completely different coffee and cocktails every morning for a month.
So, a coffee machine is an ideal option for quickly and high-quality coffee preparation. The main thing is to know the rules for using the unit and follow the recipes for creating the drink.

Many people like to drink a cup of ice at a table with friends after work. This is a cold drink based on coffee with the addition of ice cream. It can be prepared in different ways. But for the base we need two main ingredients: ice cream and coffee itself.

If you use a regular coffee pot, we recommend that you pour the coffee through a sieve (gauze) to get rid of the grounds. The drink will become cleaner.
Then we take the ice cream; you can make a neat and even ball with an ordinary small spoon. Next, as you like: you can first put a scoop of ice cream in a cup and pour coffee over it, or pour a drink and then put the scoop. You can even add warm milk if you don't like strong coffee. This will make the drink creamier.
You can add your favorite syrup, hot chocolate, wafer chips or nuts to the drink. This will decorate the glace and give it an interesting taste.
