  • Use only freshly roasted properly blended espresso. \r\n
  • Use an espresso machine with the proper amount of pressure and correct water temperature of 195 degrees. Some home espresso makers boil the water to create the pressure needed to extract the espresso. These espresso maker will not make good crema. Use a espresso maker that has a water pump on it. They are a little more expensive but worth it. \r\n
  • Use the correct amount of espresso for your portafilter. \r\n
  • Grind the espresso with a burr grinder to the proper consistency for a 20 to 25 second pour time \r\n
