Dialling in your espresso grind
18 g, 36 g, 28 seconds: the starting point.
Espresso is the most demanding method: a few microns of grind change everything.
The starting point
- 18 g of finely ground coffee
- 36 g of espresso in the cup
- 25 to 30 seconds of extraction
Reading the extraction
Under 20 seconds
The coffee runs too fast: it will taste sour. Grind finer.
Over 35 seconds
The coffee drips drop by drop: it will taste bitter. Grind coarser.
Our recommended coffee
