A measured starting recipe
For espresso, use a dose suited to your basket. An 18 g dose with a 36 g beverage yield is a useful 1:2 starting ratio. Adjust grind size to balance sweetness, acidity and finish. Weigh the output instead of relying on crema volume; keep the dose fixed while dialing in, then test a longer or shorter yield.
More preparation and product questions
What roast profile is listed?
Bright and Early Coffee.
What cup or flavor profile is described?
Rich, tangy, balanced.
Which formats are listed?
Whole bean and brew-specific grinds in 1 lb, 2.5 lb and 5 lb options. Check the current selection menu for the available combinations.
How do I adjust strength without losing balance?
Change the coffee-to-water ratio when the flavor is balanced but the cup is too weak or concentrated. Use grind adjustments when the problem is extraction, keeping dose and water quantity constant for comparison.
Should I judge the coffee only while piping hot?
Taste again as the cup cools toward a comfortable drinking temperature. Sweetness, acidity, body and finish may become easier to distinguish before you decide how to adjust the next brew.
