Welcome to Barista & Co's YouTube channel! In this informative video, we guide you through the essential process of dialling in your grinder and espresso machine to achieve the perfect extraction. Join us as we explore the step-by-step method, ensuring that your coffee brewing experience reaches new heights of flavour and consistency.
At Barista & Co, we begin with our tried and tested espresso recipe, using 18g of coffee and aiming for a final espresso shot weight of 36g within a timeframe of 25-30 seconds. The journey to dialling in your setup begins with the right amount of coffee in your portafilter basket.
We demonstrate the easiest way to achieve this precision: by removing the basket from the portafilter and placing it on your scales. Zero the scales, then grind your coffee directly into the empty basket, and weigh it again. Repeat this process, adjusting the grind time until you consistently achieve the desired 18g of coffee.
With the correct coffee dosage accomplished, we delve into the crucial step of pulling the perfect espresso shot. It's all about finding the right grind size to control the flow rate and extraction time. We explain the significance of grind coarseness, highlighting the potential outcomes of underextraction and overextraction.
If your coffee is ground too coarsely, the water will pass through quickly, resulting in an underextracted shot that lacks depth and flavour. Conversely, grinding too finely will slow down the water flow, leading to an overextracted shot that may taste bitter and overpowering.
Throughout the video, we share practical tips and insights to help you fine-tune your grinder and espresso machine setup, ensuring optimal extraction and a delicious cup of coffee.
