🧠 Barista tips for the best espresso experience

  1. Using fresh beans:
    The best coffee is a barista roast – perfect for portafilter machines like the Baressa. Grind directly before brewing for maximum flavor.

  2. Preheat cups:
    Coffee temperature remains more stable – especially important for small espresso cups.

  3. Observe pressure:
    The pressure gauge helps you find the ideal pressure range (9–11 bar for brewing). It's helpful when choosing the grind size.

  4. Froth milk like a pro:
    Immerse the nozzle slightly, create a circular movement – creamy foam in about 30 seconds.
