Espresso
Espresso is a brewing method in which hot water is forced through finely ground coffee under high pressure. This produces a concentrated, full-bodied coffee with a rich texture and intense flavor.
Espresso grind should resemble fine table salt. Because water is in contact with the coffee for only 25–30 seconds, a fine grind is essential for proper extraction.
For example, if you use 18 g of ground coffee, aim for approximately 36 g of espresso in the cup. However, it's best to focus on the brew ratio rather than a specific dose.

How to Brew?
- Fill the machine's water reservoir with fresh drinking water.
- Use freshly ground coffee, or fill the built-in grinder with whole beans if your espresso machine has one.
- Prepare your espresso machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Start the extraction and allow the machine to brew for approximately 25–30 seconds.
- For the most balanced cup, aim for a 1:2 coffee-to-beverage ratio. The exact coffee dose depends on your espresso machine and recipe.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fullest aroma and flavor.

TipIf you're making espresso at home, don't try to replicate a café recipe exactly. Every espresso machine performs differently, so let taste be your guide. Adjust the grind size or coffee dose until you find the flavor you enjoy most. -

Characteristics
-
- We recommend using freshly ground coffee whenever possible. Once coffee is ground, it immediately begins to lose aromatic compounds through contact with air.
-
- Water temperature has a significant impact on extraction. Water that is too hot may increase bitterness, while water that is too cool can lead to under-extraction and a less expressive cup.
-
- For a richer, more concentrated espresso
-
- For more sweetness and clearer flavor notes
-
- If the espresso tastes too sour or weak
-
- If the espresso tastes too bitter or heavy
If your coffee has already been ground
If adjusting the grind isn't possible:
- If the espresso tastes weak or watery, slightly increase the coffee dose.
- If it tastes too strong, bitter, or heavy, slightly reduce the coffee dose.
