How to Use It Like a Pro

1. Pre-Extraction CheckLoad 18-20g of coffee (medium-fine grind for espresso).
   Tamp with 30lbs of pressure (use a scale for consistency).
   Lock into the group head-listen for a "click" to ensure seal.
   
2. Extraction AnalysisFirst 5 seconds: Look for even "crown" of coffee dripping from the spout.
   10-20 seconds: Crema should turn from dark brown to golden.
   Total time: 25-30 seconds for 2oz of espresso (adjust grind if faster/slower).
   
3. Post-Extraction CareRinse with hot water immediately (prevents coffee stone buildup).
   Dry the wooden handle with a cloth (prolongs wood life).
   Store upright to avoid water pooling in the filter basket.
