We often have customers come in for beans and tell us they can’t get the ‘crema’ on their coffee. And then ask, what grind setting should I use? Unfortunately there’s no magic number setting for all grinders. Although grinders all work in a similar way some have different adjusting direction and without seeing the grinder it’s difficult to answer. You need to understand the principles behind espresso and grinding, and then make adjustments accordingly.
If you’re in this frustrating situation you can read our blog on ‘How to find the right grind for your coffee machine’. If you’re still struggling your welcome to book in a training slot.

September 2, 20248:07 amI am so glad we found the home barista course . Although we had purchased a coffeee machine we had never got the knack using it properly and as a result it sat gathering dust while we still went out to buy coffee. If you are in a similar situation I recommend doing the home barista course .. We had a fun morning with Paul , drank heaps of coffee and finally learnt how to use our machine.. Paul’s directions were clear and easy to follow. . As a result we can now consistently make a great coffee !
Highly recommend
