fine grinding. Ensure that you grind the special
espresso beans for an appropriate time (approx.
45 seconds) when preparing espresso.

To reach the grinding grade needed for
espresso, we recommend grinding a maximum
of 36 g of espresso beans (around 4 tbsp.) for
around 45 seconds.
When grinding espresso beans, proceed exactly as
described in the section "Grinding coffee beans for
filter coffee" and use the following guide values.
Use the following guide values to help you:
–
18 g (approx. 2 tbsp.) of espresso beans
for 2 cups of espresso.
