Question: BREWISTA TERMS
Espresso
Answer: A Latin word literally meaning "pressed out". Strong coffee made by pressing a small amount of steam through ground
coffee beans. Contrary to popular belief, there is no "x" in "espresso".
==================================================
Question: BREWISTA TERMS
Double Shot:
Answer: 7 Brew espresso machines always dispense double shots.A double shot is the espresso from one shot tin (A single
shot is half of a shot tin).
==================================================
Question: BREWISTA TERMS
Pull:
Answer: The action of using an espresso machine to make a double shot.
==================================================
Question: BREWISTA TERMS
Shot Window:
Answer: This is the amount of time it takes for the hot steam in the espresso machine to flow through the coffee grinds and
dispense a 7 Brew double shot. This process should take between 17 and 27 seconds (there is an automatic timer on the machine).
==================================================
Question: BREWISTA TERMS
Portafilter:
Answer: This is a filter that we fill with coffee grinds and lock into the espresso machine. When the espresso machine forces
steam through the grinds, the tiny holes in the filter allow the freshly made espresso to flow out without letting coffee grinds leak
into the shot tin.
==================================================
Question: HOW TO PULL A DOUBLE SHOT
Part 1: Coffee Grinds
Answer: Every good double shot starts as 14 grams of freshly
ground coffee from our coffee grinder. The hopper (at the top) holds the coffee beans, the
grinding burrs grind the beans (inside the grinder),
and the dosing chamber holds the fresh grinds.Then, move
the dosing lever back and forth twice to dispense two
7-gram portions of grinds into your portafilter for a 14-
gram total portion.
==================================================
Question: HOW TO PULL A DOUBLE SHOT
Part 1: Coffee Grinds
Brewista Tip:
Answer: Be sure to clean the rim of the portafilter
before you put coffee grinds in it. A dirty portafilter
makes a bad seal with the espresso machine and leads
to damage. Only grind as much as you need! Fresher
grinds are better; don't grind a full chamber's worth of
grinds unless you're in the middle of a rush.
==================================================
Question: HOW TO PULL A DOUBLE SHOT
Part 2: Tamping
Answer: "Tamping" is the act of compacting/compressing your
coffee grinds so that they are ready for the espresso
machine. You'll position the portafilter under the tamper
and press upwards Compacted ground espresso should be flat and level throughout the inside of the portafilter.
==================================================
Question: HOW TO PULL A DOUBLE SHOT
Part 3: Extraction Action
Answer: Swipe your hand across the rim of the portafilter to
brush away any excess grinds (called "blessing" the
shot), and then load the portafilter into the group head. The extraction time (from hitting the shot button to finish) should be between 17 and 27 seconds.
==================================================
Question: If the double shot pulls TOO QUICKLY
WHY?
Answer: - Coffee grinds are too coarse (large) and can't be compacted enough, allowing the water go through the grinds too quickly.
==================================================
Question: If the double shot pulls TOO QUICKLY
HOW TO FIX IT
Answer: - Adjust the grinder to grind the coffee into a finer consistency, making it harder for the water to pass through.
==================================================
Question: If the double shot pulls TOO SLOWLY
WHY?
Answer: - Coffee grinds are too fine (small) and over-compacted, preventing the water from flowing through the grinds as fast as it needs to.
==================================================
Question: If the double shot pulls TOO SLOWLY
HOW TO FIX IT
Answer: - Adjust the grinder to grind the coffee into a coarser consistency, allowing the water to pass through more easily.
==================================================
Question: WHY IS THE SHOT WINDOW SO IMPORTANT?
Answer: The reason we have a tight shot window of 17-27 seconds is to maintain consistent and delicious espresso. To recap: when hot water from the espresso
machine is forced through the coffee grinds, it extracts oils and flavors on its way out of the spout, producing our espresso.
==================================================
Question: THE ART OF STEAMING MILK

of tight froth and look like "wet paint". You'll find that higher fat milks will have a thicker froth whereas lower fat milks will have a stiffer froth.
==================================================
Question: Always clean the steam wand before and after steaming milk. This is important because
Answer: the high temperatures will cause milk to dry and become crusty or clog the wand very quickly. Wipe the wand down with a clean bleach rag and then "purge" the wand of any condensation or milk by shooting some steam out into the drip tray.
==================================================
Question: Pour milk straight from
Answer: the fridge into the steam pitcher.
==================================================
Question: Position the pitcher so
Answer: that the tip of the steam wand is near the bottom of the steam pitcher.
==================================================
Question: Turn the steam wand on. As it steams the milk, tilt the steaming pitcher towards yourself a
little bit and position the pitcher so that the wand starts swirling the milk.
Answer: Then, froth the
milk by moving the pitcher down and letting the steam wand's spout aerate the top of the
milk for a few seconds. It will make a light sputtering sound.
==================================================
Question: After frothing the milk
Answer: return the steaming pitcher to its starting position with the tip of the wand near the bottom of the pitcher. While the milk continues to steam, you can scoop ice,
pour another drink, and otherwise be productive.
==================================================
Question: After a few more seconds (depending on how much milk is in the pitcher), you will be able to
Answer: feel the sides of the steaming pitcher heat up and see the thermometer rise to our
acceptable temperature range (160-170 degrees).
==================================================
Question: Turn off the steam wand and remove the pitcher. When you're starting out, you'll want to
Answer: check the temperature of your milk with a thermometer every time you steam. Once you get the hang of it, be sure to check the temperature periodically throughout the day.
==================================================
Question: The final product should have
Answer: no large air bubbles. If it does, tap the tin on the counter to pop them.
==================================================
Question: You're done!
Answer: Pour the milk over your flavor and shots to complete a 7 Brew thing of beauty.

contaminated by any other drinks that have dairy products.
==================================================
Question: STEAMING DAIRY-FREE MILK ALTERNATIVES pt. 2

for your drinks.
• Always refrigerate the milk after you open it.
• Shake the closed carton to break up any natural separation.
