Tips for a perfect espresso

1. Visual: Coffee beans.

   Use mineral water and fresh, quality coffee (neither dry nor wet).

2. Visual: Thermometer.

   Preheat the machine from the side regulator before brewing the coffee.

3. Visual: Espresso cup with steam.

   Use 13-15g for 1 cup and 20-22g for 2.

4. Visual: Bag of coffee grounds.

   The degree of grinding of the coffee must be fine (grinder level 4) almost powder. A little more than commercial ground coffee.

5. Visual: Portafilter with coffee grounds.

   Press the coffee with the tamper until it is well compacted, just up to the maximum line.

6. Visual: Timer.

   The time to make a good espresso (1 or 2 cups) should be between 20 and 30 seconds.

7. Visual: Pressure gauge.

   The ideal pressure is between 5 and 12 bar (green area of the barometer). If the gauge overshoots or falls short, recalibrate steps 4 and 5 one way or the other.
