Tips to Coffee Making continued
Extraction Guide
There are extraction variations from bean to bean, and everyone's taste is different.
Use the below as a guide to improve your espresso technique, so it's just right for you.

Note: The coffee dosage and the degree of tamping should remain the same every time you
make a coffee. The only thing that should vary is the particle size of the coffee grinds and this
will vary depending on the bean.
* Ensure beans are fresh. Old beans, no matter the grind size, will not produce a good tasting
coffee.
** When using pre-ground bagged coffee, use dual floor filter baskets which are designed for
use with pre-ground bagged coffee. This type of coffee is too coarse to use in the single
floor baskets.
