Method

1. 01

   Prepare the machine as for an espresso (espresso recipe): purge the group, dosify 18 g, distribute and level apisone.

2. 02

   Adjust the mill a finer point than for your usual espresso.

3. 03

   It only extracts 18-27 g of drink in 15-25 seconds, a ratio of 1: 1 to 1: 1.5.

   If it comes out sour, it fins a little more; if it is rough, it goes up to 1: 1.5.

4. 04

   Serve it in a cup of pre-heated espresso and take it right away.
