Choose appropriate ground coffee
The coffee should be freshly ground and subjected to deep roasting. You may need to use French or
Italian roasted coffee powder for espresso. Pre-ground coffee powder can only remain scented for 7
to 8 days unless it is stored in a sealed container and placed in a cool place. Do not store coffee in
the refrigerator or freezer. It is recommended to grind all coffee beans into powder before use. The
fragrance of the coffee beans stored in the sealed container can be maintained for 4 weeks.
If you are grinding coffee for yourself, this step is a critical step in the espresso making process .
Coffee must be finely ground.
- The ground coffee should look like salt.
-
If the powder is too fine, even if it is tamped it may cause the coffee to flow out intermittently.
These ground coffee feels like flour
- If the powder is too thick, the water will flow too fast, which will hinder the extraction of its rich
aroma.
In order to get a uniform, consistent coffee, be sure to use a high quality coffee grinder.
