HE OFFEE
The coffee should be freshly ground, dark roasted variety. You may want to try a French or Italian
roast. Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavor for 7– 8 days, provided it is stored in an air-tight
container, 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 air-tight
container will keep up to 4 weeks before they begin to lose their flavor.

HE RIND
This is a vital step in making espresso and takes practice. The coffee must be of a fine grind.
• The correct grind should look like salt.
• If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under pressure.
• 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 or Burr Mill for uniform consistency in your espresso grind.
Oval shaped coffee grinders are not recommended because the grind is not consistent.
We recommend using a MR. COFFEE
a more precise, even grind.
