TIPS AND TRICKS
BEING BARISTA AT HOME
You can control how much coffee falls down. Just fill the Aram coffee
maker ® until the water comes out and count how many laps you’ve
given. If you go till the end will be 38 turns. If you go up less, there
will be less coffee in the glass. The rules are:
Pick one mode and count how many laps you’ll be going up, and
make sure you will turn the handle down till the end. That’s running
water over the coffee and allows you to open the portafilter without
burning yourself. The water that’s on top of the piston won’t goes
down to the coffee. Follow the rule: a er making your espresso,
open the portafilter and then turn the handle up to let the water
pass. That’s a suggestion, the results can vary according to the grind
and coffee, and also acord to the person who is making the coffee
by pressure.
In the basic recipe we indicate 22 grams of coffee, but you can use more or
less, as the table above suggests. Be aware that for each amount of coffee
the grinding level changes. If you got your recipe right with 22 grams and
made a great creamy espresso and switch to 18 grams with the same grind,
you will notice that the handle turned very light and made little crema.
Then you will have to grind slightly thinner to create the same pressure. If
you use 24 grams, you will have to grind slightly thicker to not creating too
much pressure and become too heavy.
Note: With the standard dual filter that comes with the Aram coffee maker®
don’t use less than 16 grams or more than 24 grams.
