The Process (Part 1): This is the third episode of our Espresso for Beginners series. We review the first few aspects of pulling your first shot. We discuss selecting beans, grind sizes, water, distribution, tamping, etc. All those steps leading you to actually pulling a shot But, as always, we got lost in conversation and we weren't able to get to the point of actually pulling your shot. So... for the sake of brevity, our next episode (Part 2) will cover the remainder of the process including actually pulling that shot (we promise!).

Milk for Your Espresso: This is the fifth episode of our Espresso for Beginners series. We dig into the basics of steaming milk so that you can recreate your favorite espresso drinks at home. We cover the process for steaming milk and some pointers we've learned along the way. We don't delve into latte art because we feel that is a more advanced topic. We also discuss alternative milks and the challenges behind steaming them. Our next episode will cover some nice to have but non-essential gadgets to make your espresso-making journey a more pleasant one!
