That unbreakable bond 😩☕️

3 Tips to become an espresso cowboy & start making better espresso 🤠☕️

1️⃣ Tip 1 Use a scale ⚖️

Brewing with mysterious amounts of coffee will result in mysterious flavours.
By using a scale you can repeat recipes that worked and improve brews future brews.
You might be very luck and brew a fantastic espresso without weighing but when it comes down to repeating this you will struggle by guessing how much coffee you are using you won't be able to recreate this.

2️⃣ Tip 2 Use fresh beans 👌

Lighter roasted coffees tend to stay fresh longer so when brewing espresso make sure you store your coffee away from light, moisture & temp.
But most importantly try to use your coffee within around 2-4 week period.

Making espresso with old coffee will result in stale, weak and watery taste. No one want's their espresso tasting like this 😩

3️⃣ Tip 3 One variable at a time ☝️

When dialling-in your espresso try to only change 1 variable at a time, whether that be grind size, ratio, pressure or temperature.

By changing just 1 at a time you won't get caught up endlessly dialling-in one coffee.

Yes, that's the skinny latte 👌

Let's chat about 'agitation' ✨☕️

No one likes an uneven brew, dry grounds that haven't been extracted until your second pour can change the taste of your coffee. This occurs when different grounds are extracted at different rates.

This is why using a gooseneck kettle to control the flow of your water helps to evenly saturate the grounds and extract everything at the same time👌☕️
