The basics of pulling espresso are, well, pretty basic. But to truly hone your skills at crafting a fine shot of espresso, you need lots of practice and a few tips. You need to know how to get your grind just right. You need to decide how heavily you want to dose your coffee. You need to know how to tamp your grounds just right. And you need to know how to evaluate your shots so you can improve over time.
This step-by-step guide on how to pull espresso shots explains how to do all of these things, and provides other tips and tricks for pulling perfect shots of espresso (almost) every time (if you practice!).
