How to Brew Espresso
Before You Start:
Use fresh coffee beans. Select a roast made especially for espresso. The grind of the coffee is very important
in making a good cup of espresso. Proper espresso grind is a texture like fine grains of sand. A grind like a
powder is too fine.
Your espresso machine is "pod compatible." A "pod" is a small self-contained paper filter which contains one
serving of pre-ground, pre-measured espresso roast coffee. Check with your coffee vendor for availability.
This step-by-step example is for brewing a single cup of espresso.
1. Insert single filter into single
filter holder
2. Add approximately 7 grams
of coffee to the filter holder.
(Grinder/doser and
measuring spoons are
available from Grindmaster.)
3. Lightly tamp and level the
grounds with even pressure.
(Do not “pack” coffee into
the filter.)
4. Wipe or brush away any
excess grounds on the rim
of the filter holder.
5. Attach filter holder to the
group head by lining up tabs
on filter holder with slots in
group head. Push the filter
holder firmly into place and
lock in by rotating left to
right.
6. Place a preheated espresso
cup under the filter holder.
Turn "on" the
appropriate brew switch for
18 to 23 seconds, then turn
off the brew switch.
Espresso will flow out at a
slow, steady rate. Each 1
1 /
2
to 2 oz. cup of properly
made espresso will have a
fine layer of crema on the
surface of the espresso.

WARNING: Never open or
remove filter holder when
pressurized in group. head or
when brew switch is "ON”.
Wait a few seconds for
pressure to release. Then
unlock the filter holder by
rotating right to left, then
down and out. Dump the
used grounds out of the
filter holder.
