SELECTING THE RIGHT COFFEE
THE COFFEE
The coffee should be freshly ground and dark roasted. You may want to try a French or
Italian roast ground for espresso. Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavour for 7 – 8
days, provided it is stored in an airtight container and in a cool, dark area. Do not store in a
refrigerator or freezer. Whole beans are recommended to be ground just before use. Coffee
beans stored in an airtight container will preserve flavour for up to 4 weeks. Do not use
sugar roasted* ground coffee or sugar roasted coffee beans as these will clog the filter and
damage the appliance.
THE GRIND
This is a vital step in the espresso making process if you are grinding your own coffee. It
may require practice. The coffee must be of a fine grind.
•
The correct grind should look like table salt.
•
If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under high
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.
