The Grind
This is a vital step in the espresso making process and takes practice. The

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 mill for uniform consistency in your
espresso grind. Oval shaped coffee mills are not recommended because the
grind is not consistent. We recommend using the
