+Notes from this video
+  * Grinding
+    * Dark roast works best with a coarser grind
+    * Light roast works best with a finer grind
+    * Make grind Finer if coffee comes out too fast; adjust Coarser if comes out too slowly
+  * Dose should be the most ground coffee you can put in the filter basket without seeing an imprint of the screen after drawing the espresso
+  * Adjust Grind, not Dose.
+  * Adjust dose to get more or less espresso out.
+  * Timing. You should get 2:1 espresso out in 25-30 seconds.  For a 18g dose, you should get 36g espresso out in 25-30 seconds.
+  * Temperature of water going into filter to be 93-95 C
