The grain machine

Widely democratized in recent years, the automatic machine with integrated grinder (or more simply bean machine) allows you to enjoy freshly ground coffee, without any barista pretensions.

Originally designed for espresso, most models today offer a multitude of options: ristretto , lungo , americano , cappuccino , etc.

These machines offer a perfect compromise between ease of use and cup quality, and are constantly improving thanks to a continuous improvement approach by the manufacturers.

An automatic machine(Jura, De'Longhi, Melitta, etc.)

Water

A filter recommended by the machine

Recipe

Tips

Do not fill the mill to the maximum.The coffee from your machine degrades rapidly upon contact with air and light.

Make sure to clean and descale your machineaccording to your manufacturer's recommendations. The same coffee served with a dirty machine will be radically different.

Test the grind settings.To find the one that suits your coffee: if it lacks body, reduce the size and conversely if it is too intense.

If you likelong coffeesDo not run hot water through the grounds for more than 30 seconds. Opt for a short espresso andtop up with hot water(The hot water nozzle will be perfectly suitable). This will prevent the bitter aromas typical of coffee "tired" by over-extraction.
