4. Place the portafilter on an even surface and tamp the grounds, so they are evenly spread.
5. Be sure to press down evenly or the water will not be pressured through the grounds evenly.
6. Attach the portafilter to the Espresso machine, press the double shot button,
7. You will want to try different times on your brew, but generally between 23 seconds and 30 seconds will produce a great espresso shot.

The Benefits of Lucky Day Coffee
No synthetic fertilizers or chemicals are used in the growing or during production. This means cleaner air, water, land and ultimately a cleaner planet for us and the animals that live in or around the farms.
Organic Lucky Day Coffee is not only good for the environment, our coffee is also richer in antioxidants and coincidentally produces a smoother taste.
The coffee beans used to create Lucky Day Coffee's signature coffee are naturally low acid and can help with sensitive stomach issues commonly associated with drinking coffee. When coffee is grown in the direct sun, it grows very fast and thusly has a higher acidity. Shade Grown coffee grows slower therefore has time to develop into a low acidity bean naturally. ONLY 2% of the world's coffee is shade-grown.
One BIG benefit of our roasting process is that we roast in small batches to insure quality and consistency. Also, this allows us to change our specifications when needed. The time from roasting until Lucky Day Coffee is bagged is minimized to reduce exposure to possible contaminants.
Because we use no synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides in the production, harvest or preservation of Lucky Day Coffee, there are three BIG benefits:
1. Farmers are not exposed to chemicals when growing, harvesting or producing our coffee.
2. Birds and wildlife are not displaced or poisoned and therefore provide a natural defense to coffee-eating insects.
3. Keeping the forests untouched, not only allows for shade grown beans, but allows the forest canopy to redirect water runoff leaving our soil nutrients in place and not washed away.
