COFFEE MAKING TIPS
Brewing Your Espresso
The most common mistake in brewing is to over extract from your ground coffee.
This results in a bitter beverage with visibly bleached crèma. Crèma is the caramel colored layer that floats on top of the coffee following extraction.
Correct Extraction
A single espresso is approx 1oz A double espresso is approx 2oz
NOTE:
The taste of your coffee will, of course, depend on personal preference and on many other factors such as:
•Freshness of the coffee bean
•Fineness or coarseness of the grind
•Tamping pressure (pressing down)
•Quantity of the coffee grind in the filter basket
We recommend experimenting by varying these factors to achieve the coffee taste of your preference.
