HOw TO PREPARE QUALITY ESPRESSO
AND CAPPUCCINO AT HOME
THE COFFEE
The coffee should be freshly ground and dark roasted. 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
airtight container and in a cool, dark area. Do not store in a refrigerator or freezer. Whole
beans are recommended to be ground just before use. Coffee beans stored in an airtight
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 of
a fine grind.
• The correct grind should look like salt.
• If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under pressure.
These grinds look like powder and feel like flour when rubbed between fingers.
• 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 for uniform consistency. Oval shaped coffee grinders are not
recommended because the grind is not consistent.
