Really good video about brewing your cup using your espresso machine link
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
