How To Brew

We recommend your finished espresso should weigh 2.5 times as much as your coffee dose., which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For espresso we recommend a fine grind, setting 1 if you are ordering from Intelligentsiacoffee.com
