In this video, I show you the basics of making espresso. To me, the most important things are fresh beans, dosing and grinding, and finally not worrying too much about upgrading. It's important to get the best out of what you've got, because a good espresso can be made on both expensive and cheap equipment. Please feel free to check out this blog article for a little more information: tomscoffeecorner.com/what-are-the-best-beans-for-espresso
