THE GRIND
This is a vital step in the espresso making process if you are grinding your own coffee and
takes practice. The coffee must be of a fine grind. The correct grind should look like salt.
If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under pressure. These
grinds look like powder and feel 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 for uniform consistency.
