Not a lot of people will know this but a coffee tamper is an essential piece of equipment to make a good espresso, and a good espresso will lead to a great cup of Cappuccino, Latte and Mocha.
First you need a roaster to roast the green coffee beans, that's right coffee beans are green before they are roasted. The fresher the beans the better the coffee and you can not get any fresher than roasting your own.
