Brewing guidance
For espresso, begin with an 18 g dose. For a balanced starting point, target a 36–45 g beverage yield in 25–35 seconds. Grind finer if the shot runs fast and tastes thin; grind coarser if it chokes or finishes dry. Even distribution and a level tamp improve extraction. Allow freshly roasted coffee to degas before dialing in.
