Espresso help
Recently got a Krups XP4030 espresso maker (I had some rewards points from work and thought "what the hell"). I know Krups has a bit of a mixed reputation among coffee nerds, but I thought it'd be a good entry point into espresso making.
Made a few shots already. They came out good, with crema and all, only thing is that the espresso isn't nearly as strong as what I've normally gotten from a coffee house. Maybe it's the temperature...it comes out hot enough to be instantly drinkable, so maybe I'm not getting the sucker hot enough. I'm using a burr grinder, grinding it fine of course, and I put in and tamp down as much ground coffee as will fit in the filter basket. Any tips? |
