Beans 

When it comes to making the perfect espresso shot, fresh beans are essential. Whether you prefer a dark roast or a milder flavour, make sure you purchase fresh, high-quality beans. This will add to the taste and aroma of your coffee.

Grind Size

Grind size plays a crucial role in how your espresso coffee machine functions. Your coffee grounds should have a texture somewhere between table salt and powdered sugar for ideal consistency. Our coffee accessory range features some of the best coffee grinder options so that you can achieve the perfect consistency for every cup of coffee.

Pulling the shot

With the right coffee machine, this step is simple. Typically, you’ll want to aim for a brewing time of 24-30 seconds for a dreamy espresso shot.

Coffee machine maintenance plays a significant role in producing the perfect espresso shot. Here are our top tips for ensuring your espresso machine stays in top-notch shape: 

Regular Cleaning: After each use, clean the machine. We know this isn’t the most exciting task, but a simple wipe-over with a soft cloth to remove any coffee residue will do the trick. 

Descale Periodically: Ensure you descale your coffee machine somewhat regularly. This step helps remove mineral build-up that can affect the taste of your coffee.

Replace Filters: This is an often neglected and easy-to-implement coffee machine maintenance tip. If your machine uses water filters, remember to replace them as per the manufacturer's recommendation.
