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
