The balanced modern standard. Start here with a new coffee.
How to use it
- I. Weigh your ground coffee into the basket — that is your dose.
- II. Put your cup on a scale and start the shot.
- III. Stop when the scale reaches your target yield, and note the time.
- IV. Too fast? Grind finer. Too slow? Grind coarser. Then taste.
Times are a starting point, not a rule — taste is the final judge. Read our guide to dialing in espresso.
