Choose the right coffee powder
- 6 -
Coffee powder
The coffee should be freshly ground and subjected to deep roasting. You may need
to use French or espresso roasted coffee powder for espresso coffee. Pre-ground
coffee powder can only keep the aroma for 7 to 8 days unless it is stored in a sealed
container, and place it in a cool place. Do not store coffee in the refrigerator or
freezer. In general, it is not recommended to use pre-ground coffee powder. The
coffee beans freshly ground are more easily to retain the aroma of the coffee and
obtain higher coffee quality.
Grind
If you are making coffee, this step is a key step in the espresso making process and
requires more practice.

In order to obtain a uniform and consistent coffee powder, be sure to adjust
the grinding setting according to the type and quality of coffee beans to obtain
a cup of high-quality coffee.
The correct powder should look like salt.
If the powder is too finely ground, it may cause the coffee to flow intermittently
or fail to brew coffee.
If the powder is too coarse, the water will flow through the coffee too quickly,
which will affect aroma and taste of the extracted coffee.
You can adjust the thickness of the ground coffee powder by adjusting the coffee
bean box, which will vary depending on the type and quality of the coffee beans
you use, so you need to make appropriate adjustments to achieve the best
results.
For the freshly-roasted coffee beans (within 1 month), the grinding position
should be set between 5-10, the double-cup (Grind) setting can produce about
19g of powder and the single-cup (Grind) setting can produce about 13g, this will
bring relatively good coffee extraction effect.
In order to prevent the coffee beans from getting wet and affecting the grinding
effect and the final coffee taste, please do not put too much coffee beans in the
bean box.
