Your Guide To Espresso
1
Remove the portafilter from the group head – twist from right to left until it dislodges and flush the grouphead for two to three seconds.
2
Empty the portafilter (if it isn’t already empty) and make sure there isn’t any leftover residue or moisture.
3
Measure up your coffee: use scales for exact results and pop the coffee in the portafilter, level it out with a light shake or a dosing tool.
4
Tamp the coffee: use a hand tamper to firmly compress the grounds and level them out. This will force out any air pockets and create a longer extraction process.
5
As soon as the portafilter is in, start the water flow. You have three to five seconds to put the cup under the spouts.
6
When your espresso’s poured, stop the water flow.
7
Lock the portafilter into the grouphead by twisting it from left to right, and select the cup.
