Espresso Grinding and Dosing (#)

  „Coffee is freshest immediately after it is ground.  After grinding the volatile oils that were previously protected inside the bean are exposed to the air which oxidizes and stales the coffee.  This effect occurs immediately after grinding so it is important to tamp and extract the espresso as quickly as possible.  The grinder should be activated for 15-20 seconds every time a shot is desired so that only freshly ground coffee is used.  Instead of two pulls on the doser, the barista should pull several times until the entire basket is filled with ground coffee.  See the tamping section for additional instructions.“
