Why Does My Coffee Taste Like Dishwater?

Anyone who rushes out to buy a new espresso coffee machine on a whim usually ends up wondering why the coffee it produces isn't nearly as good as the drink you usually get at the local coffee shop. The there are two reason why this is the case:

1. You don't yet have the skills needed to make an espresso coffee as well as the Barista at the cafe.

2. You're using pre-ground coffee beans bought from the supermarket.

I can't help you too much if its the skills you are lacking, what you really need to do in this case is to find someone who is an experienced Barista to give you the help you need to brush up on your coffee making technique.

If you are using pre-ground coffee to make your espresso at home then this is something that you can do something about immediately. All you need to do is find a quality coffee grinder, buy it, set up it in your house and you'll be grinding the best, freshest coffee in no time.

The purchasing of a coffee grinder is not something that is to be taken lightly as it is a product that need to be just right if you're going to get the best coffee from your espresso machine. Remember that coffee grinders are not cheap and the one you buy will be in use for many years to come so it makes sense to make the right decision the first time around.
