How do you dial in espresso at home?
Espresso is fussier than other brew methods, but it rewards patience. Start with 18g in and 36g out - a 1:2 ratio and aim for a shot time of around 25–35 seconds. That's your baseline. Get that repeatable before you change anything.
From there, let taste guide you. Sour or sharp? Grind slightly finer. Bitter? Go slightly coarser. Weak or flat? Increase your dose and keep your ratio controlled. Change one variable at a time so you know what's actually working.
