Process

Step 1
Use a scale to measure your dose of coffee and brewed liquid
Step 2
Distribute the coffee evenly to ensure the bed of coffee is flat.
Step 3
Tamp down the bed of coffee with 10-15 kg of pressure. Be sure to tamp level. This is more important than the pressure.
Step 4
Adjust your grind size to have the full beverage weight in approximately 27 seconds. Experiment with grind settings to control extraction time. As you grind finer, you increase extraction time.
Step 5
For a balanced cup, give the espresso a quick stir to mix the layers. Enjoy!
