Having a bean-to-cup automatic espresso machine means that you don’t have to do the entire process, which also means that you don’t have control over it either. Nonetheless, if you bought the machine it was because you want a good tasting cup, so then better play with the available settings to bring the most out of it. And the result? A more than enjoyable cup of espresso that requires the least effort possible! You just stop by, push a button, come back, grab your precious, and your life can go on!

Automatic machines are usually not designed for specialty coffees or coffees that are not roasted the typical Italian style, but with a few adjustments you can perform some pretty good magic. Light roasts are usually beyond these machines’ capabilities, therefore they are excluded from the guide. The reason we are trying to stick to the maximum coffee dose is because a bigger puck helps with these machines’ pressure system, but if you can see that your puck is dry, then decrease the dose until your machine can handle it.

What do you need?

  • a good roast from your local roaster (medium, medium-dark)
  • an automatic espresso machine
  • good quality water, like THIS one

  • Coffee dose: maximum

Steps:

  1. press the button
  2. machine go brrr
  3. if your machine does not allow to decrease the output volumes to the above mentioned ones, then just cancel the extraction or remove the cup sooner than it would finish
