9.2 Choosing the right coffee
For best results, use freshly ground, deep roasted coffee.
For espresso, use French or espresso roasted coffee powder.
Pre-ground coffee powder will only stay fresh 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.
In general, it is not recommended to use pre-ground coffee powder. Freshly ground coffee beans retain their
aroma and produce higher coffee quality.
9.3 Grinding coffee beans
If you are making coffee, this step is key in the espresso-making process and requires practice.
Use freshly roasted coffee beans (roasted within the last 1 month) and set the grind size to 5-10. The double-cup
grinder produces about 19 g of grounds. The single-cup grinder produces about 13 g.
You can change the grind size by adjusting the setting on the coffee bean box. The required grind size will vary
depending on the type and quality of the coffee beans you use. As such, you may need to make appropriate
adjustments to achieve the best results.
To prevent the coffee beans from getting wet, which affects the grinding process and flavour, do not put too many
coffee beans in the bean box.
If the powder is too finely ground, it may cause the coffee to flow intermittently, or the coffee may fail to brew.
If the powder is too coarse, the water will flow through the coffee too quickly, which will affect the aroma and taste
of the extracted coffee.
To obtain uniform and consistent coffee grounds, be sure to adjust the grinding level according to the type and
quality of coffee beans.
