Espresso

Fill the hopper and set the grinder to level 15. That is the manual's starting point and a good one.

Lock the double-shot basket into the 58mm portafilter, slide it under the grinder outlet and press the double grind button. Twelve seconds gives you 16 to 20 g.

Press the tamper handle down until the bed is flat. A level bed is what keeps the water honest.

Twist the portafilter into the brew head and press the double espresso button. You are after 70 ml in roughly 25 to 30 seconds.

Too fast and the shot tastes thin - grind finer. Too slow and it turns bitter - grind coarser. Move one level at a time and taste in between.
