Perfect Your Home Espresso Technique
Coffee taste can vary from cup to cup for many reasons. If you're not happy with your home espresso, you can fix the taste by adjusting the grind and water temperature. A properly ground and weighed shot will produce the perfect espresso every time.
These adjustments are subjective, and there may be more than one optimum setup for each blend, especially if it's complex in taste. With premium espresso beans delivered to your home, you'll have the consistency needed to perfect your technique.
Common Espresso Problems & Solutions
🍯 Not Sweet Enough
Solution: Pull more ristretto shots by grinding finer and stopping at the same color. This concentrates the sweetness while maintaining crema. You can also try center-cutting shots, though this reduces distinctive flavors and can lead to blandness. Center-cut shots work well for newcomers to straight espresso.
⚡ Over-Intense Flavors
Solution: Lower the pump pressure on your espresso machine. If there's not enough sweetness to balance the bitters and sours, use the previous sweetness fix. Also consider pulling longer (lungo) shots with the same stop color.
😐 Pallid Flavors
Solution: Raise the pressure and consider pulling shorter (ristretto) shots with the same stop color. This intensifies the flavor extraction from your premium espresso beans.
😖 Overly Sour
Solution: Raise the water temperature. Short-term fix: try stopping lighter and grinding finer to keep the volume the same. For severe sourness, consider start-dumping the shot.
😤 Overly Bitter
Solution: Lower the water temperature. Short-term fix: try stopping darker and grinding coarser to keep the volume the same. Fresh espresso beans from our home delivery service will also reduce bitterness.
