and lacks crema and flavor.

being too coarse and/or insufficient coffee in
the filter basket and/or under tamping.

The gauge needle, when positioned in the
upper zone during extraction, indicates
the espresso has been extracted with too
much pressure.
This occurs when the water flow through the

over extracted espresso that is very dark and
bitter with a mottled and uneven crema.

being too fine and/or too much ground
coffee in filter basket and/or over tamping.
