The precision your espresso needs

Is your espresso lacking the intense flavor, the enveloping aroma, or the perfect crema you were expecting? The reason might be the grind. An inconsistent grind can ruin even the best coffee. Here’s how to achieve the perfect grind for a flawless espresso .

Innovation

If the grind is too coarse, water will pass through too quickly, resulting in a weak, watery coffee. On the other hand, if it’s too fine, the coffee will over-extract, creating an excessively bitter and intense beverage.

And this is where everything starts to make sense…

The Impact of an Incorrect Grind

Imagine investing in high-quality coffee and a professional espresso machine, only to end up with a lifeless espresso.

The secret lies in the extraction time—the process in which water passes through the ground coffee. To achieve a balanced espresso, this process should last between 25 and 30 seconds.

Why is this timing so important?

If the water flows too fast (less than 25 seconds), the coffee won’t have enough time to release its full range of aromas and flavors, resulting in a weak and acidic drink.
If the water flows too slowly (more than 30 seconds), the coffee will over-extract, becoming bitter and heavy.

The key is to adjust the grind so that the water flows within that ideal window, allowing you to extract only the best from the coffee.

And when everything depends on that level of precision… only a tool crafted with true expertise and a deep respect for coffee can make the difference.

The best espresso? It all starts here

A uniform and precise grind is essential for water to flow correctly through the coffee, extracting all its flavor and aroma nuances. Without this step, even the finest coffee bean can lose its magic in the cup.

The grind is the bridge between the bean and the extraction.
It’s not just about crushing coffee: it’s about configuring the exact texture that enables a balanced extraction, a dense and lasting crema, and a complete sensory profile. In fact, a proper grind lets you fine-tune your espresso recipe based on the type of bean, roast level, and even environmental conditions like humidity and temperature.

Did you know that coffee behaves differently depending on altitude, origin, or processing method?

Ascaso grinders, with their micrometric adjustment system, allow you to adapt the grind to each bean, each espresso style, and even your personal preferences: more body, more sweetness, more brightness… you decide.

The result: a cup that aligns with what you truly want to experience in every sip.

Ascaso takes the entire process to the next level

Because espresso doesn’t start when you press the machine’s button. It begins much earlier—in that moment when you adjust the grinder, calibrate the grind, and decide with precision how you want each bean to express itself.
It’s in that seemingly simple action where the true ritual begins: the one that transforms coffee into an experience, and technique into art.
