What do I need to know about using espresso powder?

Always use fresh coffee powder by grinding the coffee beans only shortly before making your espresso.

Control the grind of the espresso beans. The ideal grind coarseness is attained if the extraction time for 0.85 to 1.01 oz. espresso is between 20 and 30 seconds.

Do consult our barista tips and the owner’s book MOCA.
