Grinding coffee beans for espresso?

Cole P asked:


Hi, today I am going to be buying an espresso machine and I have a coffee grinder but I do not know how fine to grind the beans. On my grinder there is a dial that goes from “Course —to—Fine” what is the best grind for espresso? Fine or course?

THANKS

Josh

   The finer the more flavor etc are extracted during brewing.

   The fine setting is what youll want to use if you dont have burr grinder for espresso use if you dont have one suggest the breville burr grinder which will give you have the fine setting is what youll want to use would be conical burr.
   For espresso use if you dont have the best grinder at roughly 100 it comes highly recommended happy brewing httpcoffeecappuccinomakercomgrindersbybrandbrevilleburrgrinder the espressionist.
