The art of Espresso coffee
Contrary to what you might think, making the perfect Espresso is not that easy.

It requires experience, ability, passion and a little bit of curiosity. In this paragraph
we would like to share with you some of the basic rules for making the perfect
cup of Espresso.
The "5 M"
If you want to make perfect Espres-
sos, you should start by ensuring the
five essential factors which turn a sim-
ple cup of coffee into an Espresso for
connaisseurs! These are the "5 M's";
in Italian: miscela (blend), macinatura
(grinding), macchina (machine), man-
ualità (skill) and manutenzione (main-
tenance).
1 - Miscela (Blend)
Good Espressos are always made with
a good blend of coffee. An Espresso with
the right taste requires the blend of two
types of coffee, Arabica and Robusta.
The first gives coffee its delicate aroma
and the right amount of acidity, while the
second gives it its full taste, body and
cream. The quantities depend on your
own taste. Try out different combinations
until you find the blend you like best!
2 - Macinatura (Grinding)
The grinder is a must for making good
Espresso. Coffee should always be
ground just before it is used so that it
preserves its taste and aroma.
LELIT grinders let you adjust the grind-
ing level to suit the coffee blend in or-
der to establish the correct extraction
time and amount of cream.
3 - Macchina (Espresso machine)
Choosing the right espresso machine
is equally important. LELIT coffee
machines are designed and built to
let you adjust the water pressure and
temperature to your requirements. The
right balance of these two factors al-
lows you to extract from the ground
coffee not only the substances that
provide its taste, but also the insolu-
ble particles that give your coffee body
and aroma.
4 - Manualità (Skill)
Half of the result depends on how you
use the machine. A passionate expert
is an essential part of the Espresso
production chain and can enhance the
result to bring additional value to the fi-
nal product. Passion and practice are,
therefore, the secrets to learn how to
use the machine. You can experiment
with different blends of coffee, grind-
ing, pressing, changing water temper-
ature and pressure, not just to make
Espresso, but also to make the perfect
one for you.
5 - Manutenzione (Maintenance)
Daily maintenance, scheduled mainte-
nance as well as care of the machine will
