The Coffee

The coffee should be a freshly ground, dark roasted variety. Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavor for 7-8 days, providing it is stored in an air tight container, in a cool, dark area. Do not store in refrigerator or freezer.

Whole beans are recommended, to be ground just before use. Coffee beans stored in an air tight container will keep up to 4 weeks before they begin to lose their flavor.

The Grind

This is a vital step in the espresso making process and takes practice. The coffee must be ground fine, but not too fine.

!The correct grind should look gritty, like salt or sand.

!If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under pressure. This grind looks like powder and feels 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 or mill for uniform consistency in your espresso grind. Oval shaped coffee mills are not recommended because the grind is not consistent. We recommend using Mr. Coffee’s coffeemill. The round stainless steel grinding chamber insures a more even grind.
