FAQ List
For making espresso, a fine grind size is recommended. This allows for proper extraction and ensures a rich and concentrated flavor in your espresso shot.
While it is possible to use regular coffee for making espresso, it may not produce the same results as using specifically ground coffee for espresso. Espresso-specific ground coffee is finely ground and specifically roasted to bring out the best flavors and aromas in espresso.
Ground coffee for espresso is best consumed within two weeks of opening the package. To maintain freshness, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place away from moisture and heat sources.
While it is technically possible to use ground coffee for espresso in a drip coffee maker, it may not produce the desired results. Drip coffee makers are designed to extract flavors differently, and using espresso-specific ground coffee may result in a weaker and less flavorful cup of coffee.
Yes, different espresso machines may require different types of ground coffee. Some machines work best with a specific grind size, while others may require a coarser or finer grind. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's instructions or consult with a barista to determine the ideal grind size for your specific espresso machine.
