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.
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.
