What is what? The most important terms around the espresso machine, grinder and beans!

Admittedly, anyone new to the world of espresso preparation can quickly feel overwhelmed by the many technical terms - especially the technical ones. We also use these terms again and again for our product descriptions and in our blog posts. So if you come across one or the other technical term that you're not familiar with, you've come to the right place! In our glossary, we provide you with the important definitions for the not entirely self-explanatory terms in the espresso universe.
