  „There is a water reservoir and a tube that resides in the tank area for water uptake. The Barista comes with a portafilter (the part with a handle), two different baskets (one is for use with the espresso "pods", the other is for use with loose espresso), and a measuring scoop.“

  „In order for hot water to be pushed through the ground coffee, the pump has to be able to generate serious pressure to overcome the resistance created by the packed coffee. In the world of the coffee barista, or bartender, the term tamp is most commonly used. The coffee is tamped into the portafilter with a downward force of up to thirty pounds of pressure.

  „of water (for a double shot) at a temperature of 195-200 degrees Fahrenheit and a pressure of 9-10 bars. Portafilter baskets designed for single espresso shots seldom function properly, so I recommend using the “double basket.” Ensure your grinder burrs have sharp edges to finely shave the roasted beans instead of crushing them. Grinder performance is very critical.“

  „Measure the time that it takes to pull the shot, until it is second nature to you. The total time should be 15 - 18 seconds for a ristretto and 18 - 23 seconds for a regular shot. If you time your shots precisely, you can brew directly into two demitasse cups, without the need to measure and re-pour. If your machine is pushing out the espresso at a faster rate, you should use the group tightener to tighten the screw on the underside of the group head.“
