User Tips

The taste of espresso depends on the amount and type of coffee grounds used.
The particular taste of a coffee bean depends on several factors, but its taste and aroma are mainly determined by the roasting process. Coffee beans roasted at a high temperature for a long time are darker in color. Dark coffee beans release more flavor than light ones.
Espresso machines require a finely ground blend. We recommend using a grinder mill rather than a blade mill.

Grind Setting:

Best for:

Fresh and quality coffee beans will give you the best possible flavor extraction.
We recommend storing the coffee in an airtight container, and placing the container in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat sources.
Serve the espresso coffee immediately after preparing it.
