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 flavour for 7–8
days, provided it is stored in an airtight
container and in a cool, dark area. Do not
store in refrigerator or freezer. Whole beans
are recommended to be ground just before
use. Coffee beans stored in an airtight
container will keep its flavour for up to 4
weeks.

The Grind

This is a vital step in the espresso making
process if you are grinding your own coffee
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 full­flavoured extraction.

Be sure to use a quality grinder for uniform
consistency. A conical or burr mill grinder
is recommended for a consistent and fine
espresso grind.
