Dear all,

I'hv got a big problem of making a good cup of coffee. my equipement is
krups-4020 & Fiema 600N. I used Colombia Supremo beans. I tuned my Fiema to abt 1.8 to grind abt 11-12g beans. (I could not tell exactly the wieght of beans because the weighting machine that I use is not a good one) I think I could control the flow of espresso at around 20-25sec.
However, the cappuccino that I made were always bad. The coffee did not taste strong enough.

Can anyone give me some advice? Thank you!!!

12g beans for an Espresso is not the problem, but how much milk did you use? If I want a good balanced taste of latte / capuccino, I would not use about 100 -150 cc milk, anything more than that is for my wife

Thx Jemmer

How much milk do you use?
less than 100-150cc?

You're welcomed I usually use 100-150cc milk and a 180-200cc cup for Latte, equivalent to the small size beverage in "Normal" Cafe' , please note Starbuck's is slightly bigger, I think it's upto around 250cc.
