Cafelat Robot: your first espresso shot
Start with 16 g of coffee in and 32 g in the cup (1:2) for a medium roast. The grind number depends on your grinder: find yours below, then taste and adjust.
The recipe
- Dose: 16 g (Cafelat's example: 16 g in, about 32 g out).
- Stop at: 32 g in the cup (1:2) for a medium roast, 40 g for a light roast. Stop by weight.
- Temperature: Unheated: water just off the boil into a gently preheated basket (Cafelat).
- Pre-infusion: Ramp the arms gently to start, then hold 6 to 7 bar; Cafelat recommends never more than 8.
Where to start on your grinder
Starting settings in each grinder's own numbers. They are starting points from the makers' published ranges, not a guarantee: taste decides. Tap a setting for the full recipe with your roast and the next-shot fix, or a grinder for its light and dark starting points.
