Roast and ratio recommendations

Medium-dark roasts

• Around 91°C
• Ratio: 1:1.5 to 1:2.5

Medium-light roasts

• Around 94°C
• Ratio: 1:2.5 to 1:3+

After your first shot

• If the coffee tastes sour or salty, try a higher ratio like 1:2.5+ and consider a slightly higher temperature.
• If the coffee tastes bitter or dry, try a lower ratio like 1:1.5- and consider a slightly lower temperature.
• If pressure looks too low or the basket has extra headspace, check Troubleshooting.
