ESPRESSO
A unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through finely ground coffee.
Popular in Europe, it is a far richer and more full-bodied brew than regular drip coffee. Because of
its richness, espresso is usually served in 45 to 90 ml portions, in demitasse cups.

THE GRIND
This is a vital step in the espresso making process if you are grinding your own coffee. It may
require practice. The coffee must be of a fine grind.
• The correct grind should look like table salt.
• If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under high pressure.
These grinds look like powder and feel like salt when rubbed between fingers.
• If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too fast, preventing a full-flavored
ext
raction. Be sure to use a quality grinder for uniform consistency.
