In other words, espresso beans should be properly processed and then baked the day before they are shipped to you in a sealed bag (unless you know the baker, then you can just pick it up).

Once you have the coffee, make sure it is properly stored, kept dry, and placed in a cool place, but not in the refrigerator or freezer. Should also be placed in a dark place, because the sun will damage the good taste of coffee.

Before you start making espresso, be sure to preheat the filter of the coffee maker in hot water.

Some espresso will automatically heat the filter. This is important because if the coffee is cold, the metal in the filter pot will lower the extraction temperature of the coffee, making it impossible to extract normally.
