Grinding espresso beans for
espresso
Ground coffee for espresso always requires very
fine grinding. Ensure that you grind the special
espresso beans for an appropriate time (approx.
45 seconds) when preparing espresso.
NOTE

To reach the grinding grade needed for
espresso, we recommend grinding a maxi-
mum of 36 g of espresso beans (around 4
tbsp.) for around 45 seconds.
When grinding espresso beans, proceed exactly
as described in the section "Grinding coffee
beans for filter coffee" and use the following
guide values. Use the following guide values to
help you:
–
18 g (approx. 2 tbsp.) of espresso beans
for 2 cups of espresso.
–
36 g (approx. 4 tbsp.) of espresso beans
for 4 cups of espresso.
