Coffee >
> measure out 18grams of coffee beans, pour into hopper, then grind until empty
> adjust grind to middle to start (15)
> put shot glass on scale and pour espresso until you get 36grams, the time on machine will be the exact time to set your machine to pour (usually 30-35sec)

> dark roast – easier to extract requiring coarse grind and less water; maybe lower shot temp
