HOW TO: Espresso Using The La Marzocco Home

    1. Finely grind 20grams of Espresso Coffee
    2. Remove the porta-filter from the machine & run some water manually through the group head
    3. Dry the filter basket & place 20g of coffee into basket
    4. Ensure coffee is evenly dispersed throughout the basket & then place group onto a flat surface edge & tamp. Tip: Use a cloth of Tamp Mat to protect your bench & portafilta
    5. Carefully insert the portafilter into the machine & place a cup on brewing scales & tare them off
    6. Start Brewing and turn on timer simultaneously 
    7. Stop flow of water once espresso volume reached 40g
      • This should be achieved in 30 - 35secs.
      • If your shot finished too early (e.g. 20secs) then you need to make your grind finer to slow the flow of water through your coffee.
      • If your shot finished too late (e.g. 35secs+) then you need to make your grind more course.
      • Ensure when you are changing your grind you discard some coffee to ensure the change has come through as most grinders will have some retention of the previous grind size inside the chamber.
