SELECTING THE RIGHT COFFEE
THE COFFEE
The coffee should be freshly ground and dark roasted. You may want to try a French or
Italian roast ground for espresso. Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavor for 7 – 8
days, provided it is stored in an airtight container and 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 airtight container will preserve flavor for up to 4 weeks.
THE GRIND
This is a vital step in the espresso making process if you are grinding your own coffee. It
may require 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 high
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.
