SELECTING THE RIGHT COFFEE
The 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 place. 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 four weeks.
The 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 and look like salt granules.

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.
