Get the best from your espresso machine
The espresso machine is where coffee shows its strength - concentrated, rich, and full of character. With the right coffee and a few simple steps, you can pull shots that taste sweet, balanced, and satisfying, every time.
Brewing with an espresso machine
Measure & grind
Use 18g of coffee for a standard double shot.
Grind fine - like table salt. Too coarse = sour, too fine = bitter.

Prepare the puck
Distribute evenly in the portafilter and tamp firmly so the surface is flat.
Consistency here keeps your shot balanced.
Brew
Run the shot for 28–32 seconds from the first drip to the last.
Aim for 36 g out (about 2 espresso shots).
Adjust
Sour or sharp? Grind a touch finer.
Bitter or harsh? Grind a little coarser.
Small tweaks make a big difference with espresso.
Serve
Enjoy black for intensity and clarity, or add steamed milk for a flat white, cappuccino, or latte.
