Equipment:
Grind size: fine
Water temperature: 92-96℃
Coffee to water ratio: 18:36g (1:2)
Recipe:
- Place group handle on scales and tare (zero)
- Dose 18g of freshly ground coffee into the handle and distribute the coffee evenly in the basket
- With the edge of the handle on the counter, firmly tamp straight down into the basket
- Clean the rim of the handle with your hand making sure there is no loose coffee outside of the basket
- Purge the group head and insert handle into the machine firmly
- Press the double shot button and start your timer
- Extract the espresso in 28-32 seconds
- If the espresso extracts shorter than 28 seconds, the coffee is too coarse. Adjust the grind size to make the coffee finer
- If the espresso extracts longer than 32 seconds, the coffee is too fine. Adjust the grind size to make the coffee coarser
- Between each grind adjustment, grind off some coffee to ensure all the coffee is the new desired size
- Repeat steps 1-10 until you achieve a 28-32 second extraction time.
