Good crema should be thick and cling to the side of the cup when

• make sure your brew group and boilers are fully heated

 

• use a coarser grind

• use a less acidic blend of coffee

• review your tamping technique – the tamped coffee has

 

 

fractured, or a gap has developed between the coffee and the

 

 

side of the filter basket
