Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good espresso ratio?
A 1:2 ratio (e.g., 18g in, 36g out) is a common starting point for balanced espresso, though ristretto shots use closer to 1:1.5 and lungo shots use 1:3 or more.
Does dose affect flavor?
Yes, the dose combined with ratio and grind size all affect extraction, body, and flavor balance in the final shot.
