Coffee too slow

-

Has it ever happened to you that you are preparing your coffee and it starts to drip drop by drop or it doesn't even come out at all? In this video we explain how to fix it.

  1. Check that the amount of coffee used is the amount required.
  2. When sieving, make sure the pressure is correct - don't overdo it!
  3. Finally, play with the grinding point. Don't be afraid to grind your coffee coarser, but always remember to throw away the load of coffee between changes to make sure there are no leftovers from the previous one.

If you want to learn more in detail about the grinding point of an espresso coffee, extraction times and the appropriate amount of coffee in the basket, sign up for our Espresso Workshop where you will learn and practice all these parameters in a group and in person.
