Recommendations to prepare a good Italian Espresso:
- Lightly press down the coffee in the filter. The intensity of
the espresso depends on how much the coffee has been
ground, the quantity of coffee in the filter and the level of
pressure applied. It only takes a few seconds for the coffee
to come out. If it takes longer, this means that the coffee has
been ground too finely or that the beans have been pressed
too much.
