1. It is impossible to make a good Espresso without a good coffee mix. Coffee must be matched with the sweetness, aroma and lubrication required by Espresso. Coffee beans must be fresh. We recommend using coffee beans within 4 days after baking.

two。 Deeply baked beans will taste bitter and scorched. Experienced bakers will use shallow baking to keep Espresso sweet.

3. Grinding beans you must monitor the whole grinding process, the thickness of the powder can keep the absorption process between 25-30 seconds.

4. The bean grinder must use a high quality bean grinder. Cone-shaped grinding plates are more average and have a longer life than flat ones, and coffee is not heated during grinding. If the grinding plate is heated, the coffee will lose its flavor. Professionals believe that the combination of conical and parallel grinding disc is the best design.

5. Distributed in the filter handle, before pressing the powder, the coffee powder must be evenly distributed in the filter of the handle.

6. Press the powder once with 5 pounds of pressure, then once with 30 pounds of pressure, and then rotate 720 °with 20 pounds of pressure to make the powder surface smooth and smooth.

7. The water temperature must be stabilized at 92-96 °C. When choosing Espresso machine, we must pay attention to the stability of water temperature and water temperature.

8. The water pressure through the Espresso should be between 9 and 10 atmospheric pressure. This pressure is guaranteed to produce foam.

9. The absorption time for two 1-ounce cup Espresso should be between 25 and 30 seconds. In addition to time, if the color of the Espresso starts to fade, you should end the production process. The goal should be to produce a dark red Espresso within 25-30 seconds without changing color.

10. Machine cleaning is the biggest problem in Espresso today. If the machine, filter and filter handle are not cleaned frequently, the Espresso will smell of rotten oil.

11. The Espresso cup is preheated by a different heat source from the coffee maker. If the hot water of the machine is used to preheat the cup, the temperature of the boiler of the machine will be lowered, so that the Espresso produced is uneven. Espresso cups apply thick walls and narrow mouths to maintain heat and aroma.

twelve。 Practice, practice and practice are very important. The key to Espresso is that you always recognize Espresso.
