Behind every shot… episode 2: dosing ring

You’ve probably experienced the frustration: you’re trying to keep all the coffee grounds in the filter basket, and you end up with a messy countertop.

That’s where our dosing ring comes in. It keeps your precious coffee in your portafilter instead of on the floor ☕

Available in different sizes, in black or silver.
Check out our size chart to find the dosing ring that fits your machine! 📏

Exploring the art of coffee isn’t just about mastering the right techniques, it’s also about knowing what not to do. Here’s why these 5 mistakes matter and how to fix them 👇

1. Dirty steam wand
Milk bakes onto the hot wand in seconds and spoils your foam. Just make sure to purge the wand and wipe it right after every use 🥛

2. Unfiltered water
Espresso is over 90% water, so bad-tasting water means bad-tasting coffee. Hard water also leaves limescale in your machine. Use a filter and descale regularly 💧

3. Old beans
Beans lose flavour over time, and old ones give you a flat shot. Check the roast date and use your beans within 7–30 days of roasting 📅

4. Dirty portafilter
Old coffee oils make every new shot taste bitter. Rinse and dry your basket after each shot, to make sure it stay’s clean 🧽

5. Neglecting the drip tray
It overflows before you notice, and standing coffee attracts bacteria. Empty it every day and wash it weekly 🫧

☕️ Happy Sunday! Time for another round of Sunday Setups!

This week, we’re taking a peek into Stefanie’s () coffee corner. There’s a good chance you’ve already had a chat with her, as she’s part of our customer service team at Barista-Essentials 👋.

At home, Stefanie brews with her Sage Barista Express, together with a few trusty tools that have become an essential part of her routine. Her absolute must-haves? A scale and WDT tool. Two small additions that make a big difference when it comes to getting a consistent extraction ☕️.

“I also recently added a vacuum canister to my setup, which I’m very happy with,” Stefanie tells us.

And her number one home barista tip? Run away from supermarket beans. 🏃‍♀️💨

Swipe to check out Stefanie’s setup! 💚 And if you want to see your coffee corner featured next, drop us a comment or send us a DM! 👇☕️

Episode 1: Why does my espresso taste sour?

Does your espresso taste more like lemonade than coffee? 🍋☕

Most of the time, it’s a sign of under-extraction. Meaning it didn’t get the chance to give up all its good stuff yet.

The usual suspect: your grind is too coarse. Water blasts through in record time (often under 20-25 seconds), grabbing all the sour notes and sprinting off before the sweetness and body even got a chance to show up!

The fix: dial in a touch finer, aim for that 25-30 second window, and watch the sourness disappear ✨
