Can the C40 grind for espresso?
Espresso brewing demands a fine grind, by balancing the taste and the speed of coffee extracting you are able to time your espresso shot and dial your coffee to taste. We recommend grinding 3-6 clicks on the Comandante C40 but this will very much depend on the coffee and other variables. The 10-second rule for espresso is a general guideline that suggests a well-brewed espresso shot should take around 10 seconds to start dripping from the portafilter. However, this rule is not always accurate, as factors such as coffee roast, grind size, and machine temperature can affect the brewing time.
