Mill<\/strong><\/h3>To be able to set the grind for portafilters, you need a coffee grinder that is suitable for this. With combination appliances, the grinder and portafilter are one unit, otherwise you will need a grinder separately. There are electronic grinders, but also manual grinders that work for portafilters. Neither conventional grinders nor pre-ground coffee are suitable. This is because many conventional coffee grinders cannot grind the coffee finely enough for preparation in a portafilter. With pre-ground coffee from the supermarket, the degree of grinding cannot be determined – we want to adjust it! <\/p>
Grinding degree<\/strong><\/h3>The grind level set on the grinder determines how fine or coarse the coffee is ground. If you are not sure how to set a coarser or finer grind, simply refer to the grinder’s operating instructions. <\/p>
Lead time<\/strong><\/h3>This is how long the coffee runs from the portafilter into the cup (can be read on some appliances, alternatively stop it yourself). For the perfect espresso, the target is 25 seconds throughput time. There is a margin of between 20 and 30 seconds. Depending on the type of bean, degree of roast, etc., you can move within this range and adjust it to your own taste. <\/p>
Setting the grind for portafilter: Step-by-step instructions<\/strong><\/h2>Step 1: Prepare the espresso<\/strong><\/h3>- Place the portafilter on the scales and tare.<\/li>\n\n
- Grind a portion of coffee in the portafilter.<\/li>\n\n
- Weigh and bring to the previously determined grams, e.g. 20g (if necessary, grind more or remove the coffee powder).<\/li>\n\n
- Prepare the espresso as usual. Stop the throughput time. <\/li><\/ol>
How many grams of coffee?<\/strong><\/h5>First, we determine how many grams of coffee are to be placed in the portafilter. This depends on the basket size of the portafilter. Simply check the manufacturer’s instructions to see how many grams the portafilter is designed for. Usually 14 – 20g for a double espresso (portafilter with two spouts) or 7 – 10g for a single espresso (portafilter with one spout). <\/p>
Step 2: Analyzing the result<\/strong><\/h3>The aim is a throughput time of 25 seconds (range 20 – 30 seconds). Also test the result for taste and appearance. <\/p>
There are three possible cases:<\/p>
A. The lead time was far too short<\/strong><\/h5>- Taste: stale and watery<\/li>\n\n
- Crema: hardly present, disappears<\/li>\n\n
- Solution:<\/strong> The grind was too coarse \u2192 adjust finer<\/li><\/ul>
B. The lead time was just right<\/h5>- Taste: balanced and full-bodied<\/li>\n\n
- Crema: hazelnut-colored, closes after stirring<\/li>\n\n
- Solution:<\/strong> The grind is correct. It’s best to prepare another espresso straight away to ensure that the result remains the same. <\/li><\/ul>
C. The lead time was far too long<\/h5>- Taste: bitter, burnt<\/li>\n\n
- Crema: dark crema with bubbles<\/li>\n\n
- Solution:<\/strong> The grind was too fine \u2192 set coarser<\/li><\/ul>
Step 3: Adjust the grind<\/strong><\/h3>Adjust the grinding degree depending on the result of step 2: <\/p>
- Throughput time too short: finer<\/li>\n\n
- Throughput time too long: coarser<\/li><\/ul>
Depending on the scale of your grinder, set a few levels coarser\/finer here. For example, at 35 seconds you only set a little coarser than at 50 seconds. <\/p>
Then grind 1-2 portions of coffee. Only after about 1-2 portions has the grinder actually reached the set grind level. <\/p>
Step 4: Repeat<\/strong><\/h3>Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the throughput time of 20 – 30 seconds has been reached and the espresso has the desired taste and a nice crema.<\/p>
Step 5: Set grams<\/h3>
Until now, you have weighed the ground coffee by hand. Now you set the grinder to the desired amount of grams. For most machines, this is about the “grinding time”, i.e. how long the grinder grinds coffee. The longer, the more. <\/p>
So you grind the coffee, weigh it and set the grinding time accordingly. The best way to set the time is to refer to the operating instructions, as every machine is slightly different. <\/p>
Step 6: Congratulations!<\/strong><\/h3>Congratulations! You have set the grind for portafilter correctly and successfully prepared a perfect espresso. Try your espressos again and again and adjust the grinder if necessary. If you fill a new type of coffee, the grinder should generally be readjusted. <\/p>
Coffee recommendations<\/strong>for the portafilter<\/h2>You can make just about any coffee in a portafilter. Which coffee you choose depends on your taste.
