The coffee should be a freshly ground, dark roasted variety. You may want
to try
a
French or Italian roast. Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavor for
7-8 days, provided It is stored in an air tight container, in a cool, dark area.
Do not store in refrigerator or freezer.
We recommend that you start with whole beans, and grind just before use.
Coffee beans
stored
in an air tight container will keep up to 4 weeks before
they
begin to lose their flavor.
The Grind
This is a vital step in the espresso making process and takes practice. The
coffee must be ground fine, but not too fine.
l
The correct grind should look gritty, like salt or sand.
l
If the grind is too fine, the water wiii not flow through the coffee even under
pressure. This grind looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed
between fingers.
l
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 or mill for uniform consistency in your
espresso grind. Oval shaped coffee mills are not recommended because the
grind is not consistent. We recommend using the
D&i/s”
by Mr. Coffee’
Burr Mill.
