Question	Answer
not so much ... as ...	nie soseer ... nie, maar ...
espresso machine	die espressomasjien
coffee grinder	die koffiemeul
The espresso machine stands next to the coffee grinder.	Die espressomasjien staan langs die koffiemeul.
coffee bean	die koffieboon
The coffee bean is in the coffee grinder.	Die koffieboon is in die koffiemeul.
grind setting	die maalgraad
We choose the grind setting for the coffee bean.	Ons kies die maalgraad vir die koffieboon.
It is not so much the coffee bean as the grind setting.	Dit is nie soseer die koffieboon nie, maar die maalgraad.
The problem is not so much the coffee grinder as the grind setting.	Die probleem is nie soseer die koffiemeul nie, maar die maalgraad.
measuring scoop	die maatlepel
coffee grounds	die koffiegronde
We measure the coffee grounds with the measuring scoop.	Ons meet die koffiegronde met die maatlepel.
We change the grind setting for the coffee grounds.	Ons verander die maalgraad vir die koffiegronde.
filter basket	die filtermandjie
The measuring scoop is in the filter basket.	Die maatlepel is in die filtermandjie.
espresso filter holder	die portafilter
The filter basket is in the portafilter.	Die filtermandjie is in die portafilter.
steam wand	die stoompyp
drip tray	die drupbak
The steam wand is over the drip tray.	Die stoompyp is bo die drupbak.
water tank	die watertenk
The espresso machine has a water tank.	Die espressomasjien het 'n watertenk.
Keep water ready in case the water tank becomes empty.	Hou water gereed ingeval die watertenk leeg raak.
steam-control knob	die stoombeheerknop
The water tank is behind the steam-control knob.	Die watertenk is agter die stoombeheerknop.
indicator light	die aanwyserliggie
espresso flow	die espressovloei
The indicator light is green before the espresso flow begins.	Die aanwyserliggie is groen voordat die espressovloei begin.
The portafilter holds the filter basket during the espresso flow.	Die portafilter hou die filtermandjie tydens die espressovloei.
Wash the filter basket in case the espresso flow becomes slow.	Was die filtermandjie ingeval die espressovloei stadig raak.
Adjust the grind setting in case the espresso flow is too fast.	Verstel die maalgraad ingeval die espressovloei te vinnig is.
steam nozzle	die stoomspuitstuk
We wash the steam wand and the steam nozzle.	Ons was die stoompyp en die stoomspuitstuk.
condensation water	die kondensasiewater
The condensation water comes out of the steam nozzle.	Die kondensasiewater kom uit die stoomspuitstuk.
The condensation water falls into the drip tray.	Die kondensasiewater val in die drupbak.
microfoam	die mikroskuim
steam pressure	die stoomdruk
Strong steam pressure makes good microfoam.	Sterk stoomdruk maak goeie mikroskuim.
The steam-control knob controls the steam pressure.	Die stoombeheerknop beheer die stoomdruk.
limescale buildup	die kalkaanslag
The limescale buildup reduces the steam pressure.	Die kalkaanslag verminder die stoomdruk.
descaling	die ontkalking
Descaling reduces the limescale buildup.	Die ontkalking verminder die kalkaanslag.
Descaling protects the espresso machine.	Die ontkalking beskerm die espressomasjien.
steam valve	die stoomklep
We test not so much the steam wand as the steam valve.	Ons toets nie soseer die stoompyp nie, maar die stoomklep.
Switch off the espresso machine in case the steam valve leaks.	Skakel die espressomasjien af ingeval die stoomklep lek.
pressure gauge	die drukmeter
The pressure gauge measures the steam pressure.	Die drukmeter meet die stoomdruk.
The indicator light is near the pressure gauge.	Die aanwyserliggie is naby die drukmeter.
foam quality	die skuimgehalte
The foam quality improves with cold milk.	Die skuimgehalte verbeter met koue melk.
The microfoam improves the foam quality.	Die mikroskuim verbeter die skuimgehalte.
Foam quality improves not so much because of warm milk as because of steam pressure.	Skuimgehalte verbeter nie soseer weens warm melk nie, maar weens stoomdruk.
final; final round	die finale
The final begins today.	Die finale begin vandag.
We discuss the final.	Ons bespreek die finale.
ideal	ideaal
The grind setting is ideal.	Die maalgraad is ideaal.
Cold milk is ideal for microfoam.	Koue melk is ideaal vir mikroskuim.
to include	insluit
The espresso machine includes a pressure gauge.	Die espressomasjien sluit 'n drukmeter in.
The portafilter includes a filter basket.	Die portafilter sluit 'n filtermandjie in.
bad; poor	sleg
The grind setting is bad.	Die maalgraad is sleg.
The foam quality is bad.	Die skuimgehalte is sleg.
theology	die teologie
Theology is important.	Teologie is belangrik.
We discuss theology.	Ons bespreek teologie.
to disappear	verdwyn
The condensation water disappears.	Die kondensasiewater verdwyn.
The limescale buildup disappears after descaling.	Die kalkaanslag verdwyn ná die ontkalking.
basis	die basis
The plan has a clear basis.	Die plan het 'n duidelike basis.
The decision has a good basis.	Die besluit het 'n goeie basis.
mainly; chiefly	hoofsaaklik
We mainly use cold milk.	Ons gebruik hoofsaaklik koue melk.
Descaling mainly removes limescale buildup.	Ontkalking verwyder hoofsaaklik kalkaanslag.
