The coarse grind, on the other hand, is suitable for longer infusions.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a coarse or too fine grain, yields a coffee with a bitter or watery taste, far from the desired one.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So which coffee to use for the espresso machine?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recommendation is to use a <\/span><b>fine grind<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is ideal for providing the cup a balanced taste.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this is the basis for starting, you can gradually find the blend you prefer: <\/span><b>appropriate roasting, balanced blend and grinding according to your tastes.<\/b><\/p>\r\n<h2><span

the coffee leaves an unpleasant, watery, or bitter taste, the result is often attributed to the lack of experience of the bartender, the <\/span><b>espresso machine <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">used or even the water.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, for the extraction of an espresso with precise aromatic features, two more crucial components are often overlooked: <\/span><b>pressure and bean grinding<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because these factors have such a big impact on the coffee&#8217;s aroma, it&#8217;s important to pay great attention to the <\/span><b>water pressure and grind size<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The coffee extraction process must be revisited in order to better comprehend the significance of these two factors:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><b>How does the lever coffee machine work?<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The water passes through the coffee beans, taking the aromatic notes and characteristics of the chosen blend.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pressure allows the water to carry out this step and reach the filter holder, until the extraction is complete.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>force applied to the lever<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the <\/span><b>speed of the blow<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> influence the final result.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the water is pumped, then, it must pass through the coffee beans, and it is there that the size of the powder affects the taste of the coffee.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A coarsely <\/span><b>ground coffee<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> does not allow the water to capture all the aromatic nuances of the beans, because the water flows quickly, without retaining it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that the coffee is under-extracted.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, a too fine grind produces a too strong, dark, and rich in flavour drink.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is recommended that you select the most appropriate grind based on your preferences and the features of your espresso machine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the different types of

grinding<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a variable that should be carefully evaluated.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The grain sizes are standard in large-scale distribution and are equally recommended for both the classic Moka pot and the <\/span><b>professional coffee machine for home use<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A true espresso lover, on the other hand, prefers to <\/span><b>select the blend, degree of roasting, and grind.<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, here&#8217;s a quick rundown of the many sorts of grinding so you can shop like a genuine connoisseur.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extra coarse grind<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a <\/span><b>very coarse grind<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the beans remain almost intact and resemble peppercorns.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This size is most commonly used in slow, cold preparations.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, extra coarse bottoms take at least 12 hours to return a drink with a pleasant and balanced flavour.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coarse grind<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>coarse ground grains<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which are the same size as coarse salt granules, are suitable for use in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">French Press<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because this form of extraction necessitates a four-minute infusion, more resistant beans are required.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medium-large grind<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, the coffee has the consistency of sand, making it suitable for preparing coffee with the <\/span><b>Chemex method<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0or smart drippers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slower preparations are required for <\/span><b>medium-large ground coffee<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than for espresso or Moka: extraction takes a few minutes to produce a drink\u00a0with optimal qualities.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medium grind<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>medium<\/b> <b>grind<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the right one for <\/span><b>American coffee<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, made with a\u00a0large amount of water.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><b>Long coffee<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> takes a few minutes to prepare, and the extraction pressure is lower than that of espresso machines.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This kind of grinding is not suitable for the extraction of espresso because it would give an under-extracted and tasteless result.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medium-fine grind<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>medium-fine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> size is a starting point for preparing a good coffee.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of grain, in fact, can be successfully tested by those who love a lighter espresso.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also suitable with traditional coffee machines.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finely ground coffee<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><b>Fine-grained coffee is the ideal ground coffee for espresso machines<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because it produces <\/span><b>a balanced, consistent drink with full organoleptic qualities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The flavour of the cup is enhanced by the ground coffee blend, which allows the water to extract the most vital characteristics.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Super-refined powder<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too finely ground powder is only suitable for preparing <\/span><b>Turkish coffee<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When used in an <\/span><b>espresso machine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it produces an over-extracted, bitter coffee with a burnt aroma.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to recognise a perfect cream in espresso coffee<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>cream of espresso<\/b> <b>coffee<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the key indicator of a good extraction and full aroma.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideally, it should be <\/span><b>thick<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with a colour ranging from <\/span><b>dark brown to golden<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, influenced by both the roast and the blend of beans used. A blend with a high percentage of Robusta beans tends to produce a fuller cream.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To check if the cream is perfect, there is the <\/span><b>\u2018sugar test\u2019<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: if the sugar sinks slowly, the cream consistency is optimal; if not, there may be variables to correct.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The importance of water for a perfect espresso<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><b>Water<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a crucial element in the preparation of a quality espresso.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>ideal quantity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a single espresso is <\/span><b>25-30 ml<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while for a double espresso it is 50-60 ml.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The quality of the water used plays a crucial role: a <\/span><b>pH of close to 7<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a <\/span><b>hardness of around 8 \u00b0dH <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are optimal. The use of mineral water is not recommended, as it can alter the taste of the coffee.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The water temperature should be <\/span><b>around 93\u00b0C<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to prevent the extraction of bitter or bland flavours, whilst the<\/span><b> ideal pressure<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should be <\/span><b>9 bar<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to ensure a perfect extraction.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the way the coffee is prepared in the <\/span><b>portafilter <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">also affects this result. Even <\/span><b>tamping allows the water to pass through the grounds uniformly<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, avoiding irregularities that can compromise the texture and aroma. Conversely, incorrect tamping can lead to an unstable crema and a less balanced espresso.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to serve espresso coffee<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To <\/span><b>serve an espresso properly<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it is essential that the <\/span><b>cups are preheated<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, preferably on the coffee machine plate or by filling them with hot water using the steam wand. This keeps the espresso hot and preserves the cream, preventing it from dissolving too quickly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><b>Ideal cups are small<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with thick walls and a capacity of about 25-30 ml. A double espresso, on the other hand, requires a 60 ml cup. It is served with a teaspoon and caster sugar, avoiding lumps which dissolve less easily.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each type of coffee recalls a taste, choose the one that best suits your palate<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" class=\"wp-image-21385\" src=\"https:\/\/pontevecchiosrl.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/quale-caffe-usare-per-soddisfare-il-tuo-palato.jpg\" alt=\"which coffee to use to satisfy your palate\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pontevecchiosrl.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/quale-caffe-usare-per-soddisfare-il-tuo-palato.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pontevecchiosrl.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/quale-caffe-usare-per-soddisfare-il-tuo-palato-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pontevecchiosrl.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/quale-caffe-usare-per-soddisfare-il-tuo-palato-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pontevecchiosrl.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/quale-caffe-usare-per-soddisfare-il-tuo-palato-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/pontevecchiosrl.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/quale-caffe-usare-per-soddisfare-il-tuo-palato-96x60.jpg 96w, https:\/\/pontevecchiosrl.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/quale-caffe-usare-per-soddisfare-il-tuo-palato-144x90.jpg 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>grinding of the coffee powder<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of the aspects that most influences the end product.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, <\/span><b>fine-grained ground coffee<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is better for making an espresso with the best tasting.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it is important to consider the type of drink you wish to obtain.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good idea is\u00a0to keep the following information in mind while making a decision:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The extra-fine grind increases the contact surface between coffee and water:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this makes the coffee more full-bodied and stronger;<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>A coarser degree of grinding makes it necessary to lengthen the infusion times<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: in this way the drink will be watery and more similar to an infusion;<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>In addition to the degree of grinding, there are other factors that must also be considered:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> temperature and water pressure, the quality of the beans and their preparation method, and the quality of the coffee machine.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After reading this guide, all you have to do now is find the parameters that best suit your tastes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that coffee is a simple drink that requires a high-quality espresso coffee machine to produce properly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discover our lever coffee machine models.
