OVER EXTRACTION PERFECT ESPRESSO UNDER EXTRACTION This is your guide for a perfect espresso step by step with a little cheat at the end. This isn't about the machine. I'm using my Casabrews Ultra and my StarSeeker E55 Pro, my favourite budget espresso setup. But whatever you've got, this works. Start with the scale. If you can't measure your beans and your shot, nothing else can be fixed. That's just the truth. Weigh out 18 grams and set your grinder somewhere in the middle of its espresso range. Doesn't need to be perfect. It's just a starting point. Then a bit of puck prep, nothing fancy. A quick W.D.T to break up the clumps and level the coffee bed. Then a self leveling tamper is all you need. Now pull the shot with the scale under the cup. You're aiming for 36 grams out in about 25 seconds. If it's too fast, grind finer. If it's too slow, go a little coarser. If tries and you land on the exact setting for your beans and your setup. And the cheat, if your grinder can't go any finer, just add 1 more gram of coffee. Same idea with pre ground. Running slow, use a little less running fast, use a little more. Follow for more coffee tips and go make some delicious espresso.
