The very best taste always comes from using quality, freshly roasted coffee that’s ground right before you extract. Coffee is at its peak flavour potential between 5-20 days after roasting, so always buy beans with a “Roasted On” date printed on the bag. Buying beans with a “Use By” or “Best Before” date makes it impossible to know when these were roasted. Always use a quality burr grinder, and grind right before you extract, just like the very best cafes. The Dose Control Pro features 60 precise grind settings for the finest Espresso to the coarsest French Press grind. The precision electronic timer allows you to adjust grind time in 1 second increments for a controlled dose. The stainless steel conical burrs are designed to minimize grinding heat and protect the essential oils in your favourite coffee bean.
