5: Begin Extraction

Insert the portafilter and position your scale and cup on the driptray. Begin extraction. Stop the shot when the scale reads a few grams less than your desired brew weight. Check the time of your shot. If it is less than 25 seconds,consider making your grind finer. If it is more than 35 seconds, consider making your grind coarser.

Espresso

6: Adjust and Enjoy!

Remove the espresso puck from the portafilter. Wipe the portafilter basket clean, rinse the grouphead, and lock the portafilter back into place. Taste your espresso. If it tastes overwhelmingly sour, consider making your grind finer and/or extending your brew ratio, up to 1:2.5 parts coffee to water. If it is overwhelmingly harsh and bitter, consider making your grind coarser and/or reducing your brew ratio, making the shot as concentrated as 1:1.5 parts coffee to water. Enjoy your espresso on its own, or use it as the base for your favorite milk drink!
