Espresso Dial-In Guide and Printable Coffee Journal, A4 PDF Workbook, Espresso Lab

Stop guessing what to change in your next espresso shot.
Espresso Lab is a practical dial-in workbook for home baristas: diagnose the problem, make one deliberate adjustment, and log what happened. Build a repeatable process around the coffee you actually drink.

ENGLISH EDITION · DIGITAL DOWNLOAD
You receive one 20-page A4 PDF: 18 pages of the system plus two reference appendices. No physical item will be shipped. The Spanish edition is sold separately.

FROM “THAT TASTES OFF” TO YOUR NEXT TEST
Fast flow, a sharp finish, a dry cup or weak texture can send you chasing several settings at once. Espresso Lab starts with consistent preparation, then helps you choose what to test while keeping the other variables steady. Shot time is a clue, not a quality target.

INSIDE THE WORKBOOK
• A consistency checklist before you start dialing in.
• The six variables: dose, yield, ratio, time, taste and grind.
• A visual decision map and an eight-symptom Troubleshooter.
• A five-test sequence and an adjustment hierarchy.
• Worked examples showing what changes and what stays fixed.
• Quick Card: your process beside the machine.
• Dial-In Log: one line per shot.
• A/B Comparator: two shots, one variable.
• Espresso Journal: one record per coffee.
• New Coffee Card: set a baseline for a fresh bag.
• Essential espresso glossary and sensory evaluation guide.

2. Check your preparation and record a baseline shot.
3. Find the symptom, change one thing and compare the cup.
4. Print the working sheets you need and keep your coffee notes together.

WHO IT IS FOR
