Espresso & Coffee
The pressurised end of the counter: the machine, the basket the coffee sits in, and the small tools that decide whether the puck is level before water ever touches it.
Espresso is the only brewing method where the puck is also the filter, so everything upstream of the group head matters more than it does anywhere else. These six guides cover the machine itself and the five tools that sit between the grinder and the portafilter — a basket, a tamper, a screen, a funnel and somewhere to knock the spent puck out. Get these right and dialling in becomes a question of grind size alone.
No guides match those filters
