Langano espresso bar

If the coffee pours unevenly through its spouts, your basket probably needs cleaning.

The hot water will seek easy channels through the coffee so the grains must be uniform for full saturation and an exemplary brew.

Dark roasts tend to be more complex, with chocolate and caramel flavours; lighter roasts are more fruit and florals.

The drink you end up with depends on water temperature, dose of dry coffee, amount of espresso you’re making, the time it takes the machine to produce your shot, and grind consistency.
