ESPRESSO MACHINE

The coffee grinder is the most critical part of making coffee. To consistently produce a great taste, it is important to check the grinder regularly and adjust it if necessary. The mill has two variables: grind size and dosage.

Both need to be fine-tuned to get an extraction time between 25 and 30 seconds, the clock starts the moment you press the button of your machine. This is the best way to check that your grinder is properly adjusted.

Grind Size

If your extraction time is shorter than 25 seconds, it means that the grinding size is too coarse. If the extraction time is too long (more than 30 seconds), the grinding rate is too fine. Compare this with water flowing through stones and sand; the water will flow through the sand much more slowly than through the stones.

Dosage

The dosage is the amount of coffee in the filter tray of your filterbasket. For a single shot of espresso/coffee, the average is around 8 to 10 grams. A double shot has about 18 to 20 grams, depending on the depth of your filter basket. There must be some space left in the filter basket. This page explains the perfect espresso recipe, including the steps you need to take to get the desired result.
