THE ART OF EXTRACTING ESPRESSO
Consistency is key when it comes to a great shot of espresso. Optimal flavor is achieved as the brewing temperature
is maintained. Grounds are pre-infused with low, steady water pressure before extraction. Shot volumes are
automatically dispensed and can be adjusted to taste. The result is a perfectly balance, rich and flavorful espresso. The
perfect espresso shot is all about achieving a balance of acidity, sweetness and bitterness. Many factor play a major
role: temperature of the water: portafilter, and serving cups are crucial. Filter baskets and steam wand must be clean:
coffee beans fresh and perfectly roasted. The fineness or coarseness of the grind, dose of ground coffee, and tamping
pressure should be consistent when experimenting to achieve your perfect pull.
