Smooth Medium is our most versatile blend, roasted specifically for pump espresso machines and home baristas who enjoy the hands-on process.

Smooth Medium is ideal if you love experimenting with your espresso but want reliable, premium flavour in every cup.

How to Brew Smooth Medium at Home

1. With a Manual (Pump) Espresso Machine

This is where Smooth Medium shines, with hands-on control over your shot.

Tips:

  • Dose: 18g in, 36g out
  • Brew time: 25 - 30 seconds
  • Grind: Start with a medium-fine and adjust to taste
  • Tamp with even pressure to extract balanced flavour
  • Try it as a flat white, piccolo, or espresso – it’s a beautiful all-rounder

2. With a Moka Pot (Stovetop)

Smooth Medium works wonderfully in stovetop brewing – delivering a rich, smooth cup with a subtle chocolate finish.

Tips:

  • Use a medium-fine grind
  • Don't tamp the grounds
  • Heat on medium and remove when you hear the sputter
  • Enjoy black or with milk – it's balanced either way

3 Signs You’re Tamping Wrong (And How to Fix It)

3 Signs You’re Tamping Wrong (And How to Fix It)

Tamping might seem like a small step in the espresso-making process, but it plays a big role in how your coffee extracts and ultimately, how it tastes. At The Espresso Club™, we design our blends to perform beautifully at home, but if your shots are inconsistent, too fast, too slow or just not quite right, your tamping technique could be the culprit. Here are 3 common signs you might be tamping wrong and what to do about it. 1. Your espresso is running unevenly What it looks like: The shot starts pouring from one side of the spouts or comes out in a thin, uneven stream. What’s happening: You may have tamped unevenly, meaning one side of the puck is more compressed than the other. This causes water to flow through the coffee unevenly, leading to an unbalanced flavour (and a frustrating mess). How to fix it: Make sure your tamp is flat and level. Tamp with your wrist straight and elbow above the portafilter (your arm should almost be in an L-shape). Check from eye level if the coffee bed looks level before and after tamping. 2. The shot runs too fast (or tastes weak and sour) What it looks like: Your espresso starts almost instantly and finishes in under 20 seconds, and it tastes sharp, watery, or underwhelming. What’s happening: Either your grind is too coarse, or your tamp wasn’t firm enough, letting water rush through too quickly and under-extracting the coffee. How to fix it: Tamp firmly with even pressure. Use your full arm, not just your wrist, to apply pressure. If you're already tamping well, try adjusting your grind finer. 3. Your puck is cracked or stuck to the shower screen What it looks like: After brewing, the coffee puck is stuck, has broken apart, or shows a crack through the middle. What’s happening: You may be tamping too hard or using too much coffee. Over-compression can cause channeling or even damage your machine over time. How to fix it: Use the right dose. For most home espresso machines, that’s around 18g for a double shot. Tamp firmly but not forcefully (you want compression, not compaction). If the puck is consistently stuck, check your shower screen or try reducing your dose slightly. Perfect tamping doesn’t require barista training It just needs a little consistency, and beans that are designed to work with home equipment.  Our Smooth Medium and Rich Strong blends are roasted for home espresso machines, meaning they’re more forgiving of small technique variations and easier to extract well. So even if your tamp isn’t perfect, your espresso still can be. If you’re tamping level, firm, and consistent, you’re doing it right. And with the right beans, everything else gets easier.

How To Dial In Your Espresso Machine

How To Dial In Your Espresso Machine

If you’ve ever brewed an espresso that tasted too sour, too bitter, or just…off, you’re not alone. One of the most important steps in making great coffee at home is learning how to “dial in” your machine. At The Espresso Club™, we make beans specifically for home espresso machines, and we’re here to help you get the most out of them. Whether you’re just starting out or refining your setup, this guide breaks it all down. What Does “Dialling In” Mean? Dialling in means adjusting your grind size, dose, and extraction time until your espresso tastes balanced. The goal? A shot that’s smooth, rich, and full of flavour – just the way you like it. Why It’s Important At Home Home espresso machines don’t have the same pressure or consistency as commercial cafe setups, which means your coffee needs to be just right to get a good extraction. That’s why The Espresso Club™ blends are roasted specifically for home conditions and why dialling in is such a game-changer. The 5 Key Steps to Dial In Your Espresso at Home 1. Start with the right doseUse 18g of coffee for a double shot. We recommend weighing your dose with a small digital scale to keep things consistent. 2. Grind fine (but not too fine)You want your grind to be somewhere between flour and sand. Too fine may mean over-extracted and bitter. Too coarse and you're looking at a shot that's under-extracted and sour. Start with a fine grind and adjust from there. 3. Tamp flat and firmUse even pressure to tamp your coffee down flat. Uneven tamping causes uneven extraction, which can throw off your flavour. 4. Aim for a 25-30 second extractionStart your shot and time it from the moment the espresso begins to pour. Your target is 25–30 seconds for a double shot (36–40g out). If it runs too fast? Grind finer.If it runs too slow? Grind coarser. 5. Taste and adjustYour taste buds are your best tool. If your shot tastes sharp, sour or acidic, it’s likely under-extracted, meaning the water passed through the coffee too quickly and didn’t pull out enough of the flavour. If it’s harsh or overly bitter, it might be over-extracted – the water has been in contact with the coffee too long, drawing out too much and leaving an unpleasant aftertaste. Small tweaks to your grind size, dose, or brew time can make a big difference. Taste, adjust, and find your sweet spot. Pro Tip: Use Beans Made for Home Machines Your coffee can only be as good as your beans, and most aren’t designed to perform in home setups. The Espresso Club™ blends are roasted specifically for home espresso machines: that means better extraction, more consistent results, and less trial and error.

With a French Press A classic method that’s easy to master and perfect for a smooth, rich cup at home. Read our full French Press brewing guide here. Tips: Use 30g of coffee with 500ml of hot water (just off the boil) Go for a coarse grind (similar to sea salt) Stir gently after pouring water, then place the lid on Steep for 4 minutes, then press the plunger down slowly and evenly Pour and enjoy right away (don't leave it sitting – it keeps brewing!)
