SELECTING THE RIGHT COFFEE
•
The coffee should be freshly ground and dark roasted. You may want to try a
French or Italian roast ground for espresso.
•
Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavour for 7 – 8 days, provided it is stored
in an airtight container and in a cool, dark area.
•
Do not store in a refrigerator or freezer.
•
Whole beans are recommended to be ground just before use. Coffee beans
stored in an airtight container will keep its flavour for up to 4 weeks.
THE GRIND
This is a vital step in the espresso making process if you are grinding your own cof-
fee and takes practice. The coffee must be of a fine grind.
•
The correct grind should look like salt.
•
If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under
pressure. These grinds look like powder and feel like flour when rubbed be-
tween fingers.
•
If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too fast, prevent-
ing a full-flavoured extraction.
•
Be sure to use a quality grinder for uniform consistency.
