When it comes to brewing espresso, the small details make all the difference. These little quirks, the ones we discover through experience, connect home baristas everywhere—even if we’re brewing miles apart. In 2020, we uncovered this truth with our most popular video, Espresso Pucks: What Matters & What Doesn't.

It's always enjoyable when these espresso quirks are just part of the journey rather than real issues. We're here to help you decipher those mysteries and solve any challenges you encounter along the way.
