Use freshly ground or unpacked coffee.
To find out if your coffee is fresh or stale, fill a glass of water with ⅔ of water. Add 1 teaspoon of coffee to the water. If the coffee remains on the water after 5 minutes, the coffee is fresh. If the coffee sets to the bottom of the water or mixes with the water, it means stale.
To make the coffee more foamy, cook it with cold filtered water.
For a foamy coffee, do not stir it while brewing the coffee.
To increase the foam and taste of the coffee, cook it over low heat.
Serve without much boiling. Over boiling coffee loses its taste and gets bitter.
