Start with flavor
Chocolate & nuts, or fruit & florals?
Espresso is a brewing method. Pick tasting notes you enjoy; both blends and single origins can make a great shot.
The espresso guide
Small cup.
Big character.
Better espresso starts with the beans. Find your flavor, choose your coffee, and make the shot your own.
Find your flavor
Good beans. Better espresso.
There’s no single best espresso bean. Look for these four things to find one that suits your cup.
Adjust the grind for your machine.
Find your roast
Rich & roasty, or light & bright?
A medium or darker roast is a familiar starting point for a rich shot. Lighter roasts can bring brighter, fruitier flavors.
Fresh, with time to rest
Check the roast date
Freshly roasted coffee releases gas. Give it time to settle before brewing espresso, following your roaster’s advice. Store it airtight, away from heat.
Get the grind right
Whole beans. A fine, even grind.
Grind just before brewing with an espresso-capable burr grinder. Small adjustments help you control the flow and bring the flavors into balance.

At your espresso machine
Make your first shot.
A starting recipe, with room to adjust. Use espresso-fine coffee and a basket suited to an 18 g dose.
- Coffee
- 18 g
- Yield
- 40 g
- Grind
- Fine
- Target
- ~28 sec
18 g in → 40 g in the cup.
Weigh the espresso, then taste and adjust.
Warm & prepare
Preheat the machine and portafilter, then flush the group briefly before drying the basket.
Grind & tamp
Dose 18 g, distribute the grounds evenly, and tamp level with consistent pressure.
Pull & taste
Start the shot and stop near 40 g. If it runs fast, grind finer; if it runs slowly, grind coarser.
Adjust your next shot
Fast flow, thin or sour?
Try a slightly finer grind. Keep the dose and yield the same so you can taste the difference.
Slow flow, bitter or dry?
Try a slightly coarser grind. Distribute evenly and tamp level. Change one thing at a time; let taste guide you.
This recipe is for espresso-fine coffee. For fixed Chaffless grounds, follow the brew guide on that product’s page.

Great taste profile
I got a good deal for my first bag when I stumbled upon their store so it was a no brainer buy. Didn't expect much but I might be reordering since it beats my expectations.

Nutty and dark chocolate
To my taste, the medium-dark roast and listed flavor profile are there.
