The way the espresso pours will tell you
everything. Look out for:
1. Extraction Time
Extraction time provides a good indicator
of the quality of the pour. The optimum
time per shot varies between different bean
types and between freshly and pre-ground
coffee grinds. However, in general, the time
will be between 20-30 seconds for both
One and Two shots.
2. Look for Color Change
The optimum shot contains 3 elements:
Heart:
At the base - starts out dark brown.
Body:
Blends with the heart - becomes a
rich caramel with reddish reflections
.
Crema:
The layer on top of the body -
dark golden.

3. Grinds
You may need to vary the coffee grind size
when using different beans.
4. Grind Dosage
For best results, grind dosage should
remain consistent:
One Cup: 6-7g.
Two Cups: 13-14g.

Important:
Ensure beans or pre-ground
grinds are fresh. Old pre-ground grinds
and old beans, no matter the grind size,
will not produce a good tasting espresso.
5. Tamp Force
For best results, evenly tamp (press) grinds
to the level indicated.

Note:
Isolating changes to Grind Size
and Tamp Force will assist in producing a
consistent taste every time.
Note:
When using pre-ground bagged
grinds, try using a 2 step dose and tamp
method: Dose in half the grinds then
tamp and repeat.
