Great espresso every time
Whether you're new to espresso or fine-tuning a fresh batch of beans, we've got you covered. We're here to help you with pulling great shots, every time.
Start by pulling a shot
Use your usual recipe to pull a shot as you normally would. Once done, let's analyze it together.
Evaluate your espresso
Provide details about your current shot
Grind setting: The fineness of your coffee grounds significantly affects shot time and flavor.
Coffee in: The amount of ground coffee in your portafilter. A typical dose ranges from 12 to 24 grams, though this can vary for specialty shots.
Coffee out: The volume of liquid espresso in your cup. There's no definitive right or wrong — it's all about personal taste.
Shot time: Ideally between 25 and 35 seconds. Deviations may indicate issues affecting the expected taste.
