It’s the question on the lips of seasoned brewers and budding baristas alike!

While it’s hard to go wrong with a Stitch Coffee blend, there’s always ways to keep improving your espresso to make that final cup perfectly suited to your specific palate. 

To help you on your journey of extracting the best brew possible (and yes, this is a video for our espresso machine users in particular!), we brought Stitch Coffee founder Nawar into the fold to share some of his tips, tricks, and tweaks for making the most of his morning coffees. 

Made using the Breville Barista Express—one of the most popular home brewing espresso machines on the market—and the Breville Smart Grinder Pro. 

Covering everything from coffee ageing to brewing fresh (if you must), extraction, tamping, and temperature, Nawar provides a recap of the basics and then some! So pull up a chair, brew up a cup, and enjoy the video below.
