Pretty amazing gadget. Tried it out with 2 kinds of coffee, Melitta Columbian Supreme and Lavazza Cafè Espresso. The results were amazing. Funnily enough with the Columbian Supreme a second run with the same grounds produced a weaker but still tasty results, but with the Lavazzo Cafè Espresso the first press was superb, but a second press produced dishwater. Which was an interesting way test how efficient the device is. But, it may be more about the nature of the coffee, and probably about how finely it is ground. Bottom line I used to have an espresso maker in my kitchen, but I haven't since I live in apartments. I now have an option to get a cup of espresso, without necessarily having to go out.
Bottom line, here is the optimal recipe. Use a good quality Espresso grind. I put one level scoop of grounds in the compartment, and tamp it down with the scoop. Then I pour 190F water to the 30 ml mark, and wait until the first drop appears. Then I top it up to 60 and use the plunger, this soaking time allows the grounds to give up all their taste, and you get a competent espresso drink.
