Coffee Tips Coffee Tips
The coffee should be freshly ground espresso.
Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavor 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 up to 4 weeks before
they begin to lose their flavor.
Bean Grinding Tips Bean Grinding Tips
This is a vital step in the espresso-making
process 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 if under
pressure. These grinds look like powder and
feel like flour when rubbed between fingers.
If the grind is too coarse, the water flows
•
through the coffee too fast, preventing a
full-flavored extraction.
Be sure to use a quality grinder for uniform
•
consistency.
Hint: Hint:
we recommend a conical burr
grinder for grinding the beans.
