The Perfect Espresso at Home

An Espresso prepared at the bar is the pinnacle of coffee, the form which exalts the taste and the fragrances to the maximum extent. Preparation of the Espresso is a real art. In order to obtain an excellent result at home we advise that you follow these rules:

water quality: use mineral water instead of tap water: otherwise consider investing in a water filter. This is because tap water’s concentration of limestone may prevent the correct functioning of the machine and impact on the coffee quality. Every two months use the appropriate descaling liquid or powder descaling solution for home espresso machines.

dosing: single shot of espresso usually corresponds to 7-11g of freshly ground Segafredo coffee beans. If you’re using a double filter, make sure your doubling the dose as well.

tamping: once you’ve filled up the filter-holder, strike it gently on the table or on the inside of the hand in order to distribute the coffee powder evenly – do not hit the basket with the tamper as you will damage it sooner. Then press the coffee strongly using the supplied coffee tamper: a levelled surface is fundamental in order to fix a good Espresso.

timing: the coffee has to come out the nozzle forming a continuous and even stream. Pay attention to the extraction time: if the coffee comes out too quickly (under-extraction) try to press it with more intensity; in case it should come out very slowly or even dripping (over-extraction) check the pressure the other way. A good time for coffee extraction is generally between 25-35 seconds.

maintenance: every time you prepare the coffee, clean away the powder remains of the former coffee from the filter, in order to avoid undesired coffee grounds in your cup. To do so, let the water flow through the empty filter, just as if you were preparing a coffee.
