Step 1:
You should try and use the freshest beans you can; check the roasted date on the side of the packet to ensure they have been roasted recently.
Step 2:
Set your grinder to grind your coffee to the correct size for the kind of coffee you are going to make; for espresso you need a fine grind, and for cafetiere and filter coffee you need a coarser grind.
Step 3:
If you are making a double shot of espresso you should grind about 14 g of coffee.
