Why use a 58.3mm base?

Most commercial and a lot of home domestic espresso machines use 58mm baskets, when tamping with traditional 58mm coffee tampers often there is some clearance for coffee grounds to pass through the sides of the walls. Baristas are left with the option of tamping multiple times or to leave the wall of coffee grounds. This loose wall of grounds can fall onto the top of the puck resulting in uneven extraction, channeling and other issues.

Using a 58.3mm base creates a snug fit and ensures the entire puck of coffee is tamped evenly. This tight tolerance accomodate for that wall of coffee grounds and minimises issues around uneven tamping.

ESPRESSO

Espresso is one of the most concentrated beverages that humans can't seem to get enough of. Making perfectly dialed in coffee can be challenging at times but is not impossible, especially with the right tools.

  • COFFEE TO WATER RATIO

    When brewing espresso you are constantly adjusting your variables to dial in your coffee. The coffee to water ratio is one of these variable.

    Generally an espresso has a 1:2 Ratio but this isn't always the case and sometimes the word 'espresso' acts more as an umbrella term for coffees that are outside of this ratio.
    A Lungo has a 1:3 ratio and a ristretto has a 1:1 ratio of coffee to water.

  • WATER TEMPERATURE

    Brewing espresso at different water temperatures will change how your coffee is extracted and the overall taste of your espresso.
    Using a hotter water temperature will increased the body and sweetness but will have a greater chance of astringency and bitterness, while cooler water temperature will reduce bitterness, body and sweetness and can resulting in a sour, brighter espresso.

    COFFEE MACHINES 
  • PRESSURE FOR ESPRESSO

    Pressure is a critical factor in brewing espresso, typically measured in bars. The most common pressure for extracting espresso is around 9 bars. Proper pressure ensures optimal extraction, balancing the flavours and aromas.

    Adjusting your pressure throughout the one extraction is known as pressure profiling and is an entire rabbit hole in itself.

  • FRESHLY GROUND VS PRE-GROUND

    Grinding your coffee right before you brew will drastically improve the taste of your coffee. The reason for this is that once you grind your coffee it has a much larger surface area and straight away starts to loose it's freshness.
