Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines FAQ

Pressurised or non-pressurised basket?

Pressurised is forgiving with pre-ground coffee; non-pressurised gives a real espresso when you grind fresh. Most machines ship with both.

Do I need a grinder?

For non-pressurised baskets, yes. Stale pre-ground coffee is the single biggest reason home espresso tastes flat.

How long should a shot take?

Around 25-30 seconds for a double. Faster means grind coarser, slower means finer; pressure gauges are a guide, taste is the test.

What about the steam wand?

A real wand with a tip makes microfoam; a panarello sleeve makes foam that is easy and bubbly. Match it to what you drink.

Do I need a dual boiler?

Only if you brew and steam at the same time, repeatedly. A single boiler with a wait is fine for one or two drinks.

How often should I descale?

Every one to three months depending on water hardness. Scale is what kills cheap machines early.
