The Assembly: Your Espresso Brewing Guide

Meet The Assembly, Kaffirost’s own coffee blend. Brewing it at home? Start with this simple espresso recipe, then adjust to your taste.

Suggested starting recipe

  • Dose: 18g of coffee

  • Yield: 38g of espresso

  • Time: 28–30 seconds

How to brew

Warm your machine and portafilter. Grind your coffee, distribute the grounds evenly in a clean, dry basket, and tamp level.

Place your cup on a scale and start timing as you begin brewing. Stop when you reach 38g of espresso, aiming for 28–30 seconds.

Make it yours

If the espresso runs too quickly and tastes sour, try a slightly finer grind. If it runs slowly and tastes bitter or drying, try a little coarser.

Change one thing at a time, keeping your dose and yield consistent. Treat these numbers as a starting point—let taste guide your final adjustments.

Enjoy The Assembly as an espresso or with steamed milk for your favourite coffee.
