Virtual Coffee: Espresso Perfection Technique #1 - Tamping (#)
„Tamp with30-40 pounds of pressure (in training we tamp on a bathroom scale on the counter). Thisevenly compacts all of the coffee giving the water a uniform bed to percolate through. Donot tap the portafilter handle between tamps, as this will just tend to loosen adhesionbetween the packed coffee and the basket. When releasing pressure from each of the fourtamps, give a slight twist to the tamper to polish the surface of the compacted coffee.“

„In the event that nothing comes out of the portafilter and the unit starts to sound somewhat ědifferentî, this is because you have ground the coffee too fine or tamped too hard. If the espresso coffee streams out of the portafilter spouts like honey from a jar, my friend, you have achieved coffee nirvana in short order! What are the chances of this happening in the first attempt? Well, if you have played around with your grinder and your coffee is fresh or if you have had your local roaster grind it for you, you might just score on the first breakaway.“

„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.“
