Coffee
The coffee should be freshly ground and dark roasted. You may want to try a French or Italian
roast ground for espresso. Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavor for 7–8 days, provided
it is stored in an airtight container and in a cool, dark area. Do not store in a refrigerator or
freezer. Whole beans are recommended to be ground just before use. Coffee beans stored in
an airtight container will keep its flavor for up to 4 weeks.
Grind
This is a vital step in the espresso making process if you are grinding your own coffee and
takes practice. The coffee must be of a fine grind. The correct grind should look like salt. If the
grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under pressure. These grinds
look like powder and feel like flour when rubbed between fingers.
If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too fast, preventing a full-flavored
extraction. Be sure to use a quality grinder for uniform consistency.
Filling the water tank
Remove the water tank, fill it up with water. Fill the tank above the "Min." and below the "Max."
