Tips for brewing better
Espresso
Start with the recipe 1 to 2.25. This is the ratio of how much ground coffee should become a finished espresso. Use a scale or measure the coffee in cl as it flows out. We have based the recipe on 18 g of coffee below, but the amount of coffee depends entirely on the size of your portafilter.
Recipe for: Double Espresso
Coffee: 18 g
Espresso: 40 g, 93 °C
Grinding: Fine-ground, always adjust the grinding level in relation to the coffee you are using.
Brewing Time: 25 - 30 seconds from pressing the button.
- A clean machine and a clean station are necessary when brewing espresso, so always make sure to clean after each use of the machine.
- Rinse the group head of the espresso machine by starting the brewing process and letting the water flow for 1-3 seconds. This flushes away any coffee residue from the previous brew.
- Always grind your espresso coffee just before brewing. Make sure you have full control over how many grams of coffee you are brewing your espresso with, preferably using the timer function on the grinder or with the help of a scale. We recommend 18 g of coffee for a double espresso.
- Tamp the coffee with a tamper against the edge of the countertop, applying a straight and even pressure, approximately 12 kg. A good tip is to use your body weight, leaning against the countertop.
- Insert the handle into the espresso machine and start the brewing process immediately. If the coffee-filled handle is left in the machine without brewing, the coffee can easily burn since the group head is often very hot.
- Follow the recipe of 1 to 2.25 when brewing your espresso. 18 g of ground coffee should brew to 40 g of finished espresso. Use a scale or measure the espresso in cl as it flows out.
An optimal brewing time for this is 25 - 30 seconds from pressing the button. Brewing longer than 30 seconds will make the coffee taste more bitter. Experiment to find the recipe that suits your taste. The more precise you are, the more you can influence the flavour. - We recommend leaving the coffee puck in the handle if you have a high frequency of brews. However, if you brew espresso at home with fewer brews, it's better to knock out the puck because the coffee's oils can easily dry into the filter basket if left for too long.
