La Pavoni Lever Model Tips from Sweet Maria's (#)
„It shouldclump, and mostly stick to your finger. I recommend buying a package ofLavazza Bar Espresso or such a coffee, so you can see correct grind (well, its abit coarse and requires a hard tamp, but it works great) and learn to useyour machine without dealing with this variable. Also notice the lightdegree of roast. Espresso is NOT a roast .“

„To extract espresso properly it is essential to use a burr grinder and to grind per order. The two major types of burrs used are flat and conical. Conical burrs are desirable because they increase the surface area of each particle and the amount of flavor that can be extracted from the coffee. Since conical burrs have longer cutting edges, the burrs can rotate at lower speeds which reduces the heat created. Flat burrs should be replaced after 600 pounds of coffee have been ground and conical burrs should be replaced after 2000 pounds of coffee have been ground.“

„After the proper grind is found, it places exactly 7 grams, the required amount for one cup of espresso, into the holder. This Briel also gives a lot of control over the final product, due in part to its Auto Espresso Flow system. This system lets the coffee strength be set according to taste--from a strong, Italian-style short cup to a larger, less-robust brew. The espresso is brewed at the required 190 degrees F, and the machine has 15 bars of pump pressure.“

„Look at any espresso machine and you'll find a grinder either attached to it or close by. At first glance it may look like any other grinder but it's not - it's special. That's because espresso requires an extraordinary grind. Traditional filter brewing machines just use gravity to push the water through the coffee grounds.“

„Each brewing method required a different grind size: Drip coffee requires a medium size grind, espresso requires a fine size grind, a French press requires the largest grind size, while the vacuum pot also requires the largest grind size. For cupping it is preferred to use a French press size.“
