BEAN GRINDING TIPS
This is a vital step in the espresso making process 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. These grinds look
like powder and feel like flour when rubbed between
fingers.
• 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 for uniform consistency. Burr
or Conical grinders are recommended for best results.
