Using Ground Coffee - Dualit ESPRESS-AUTO Instruction Manual & Guarantee

USING GROUND COFFEE

Select the filter holder with a black handle. Ground coffee has a three-day shelf-life, so grind
only what you need. Use a medium grind suitable for espresso machines. Too fine might
block your filter, too coarse will mean you get a weak, under-extracted espresso.

whether you are making one

singles. Make sure it's dry.
