The grinding of the coffee blend

  1. An espresso grind is a very fine grind yet still granular.
  2. Coffee loses its flavour rapidly once ground therefore only grind as much as is needed for the next espresso beverage.
  3. Temperature, humidity and wearing of the grinder burrs all affect the accuracy of the grind setting, therefore each morning you may find you need to ‘dial-in’ your grinder (make the grind setting coarser or finer) This will be the difference between good coffee and great coffee.
  4. It is important to have a good burr grinder with a fully adjustable grind setting.
