What's pre-infusion and do I need it?

Pre-infusion is a process in espresso brewing where water is first applied to the coffee grounds at a lower pressure for a short period of time before the full brewing pressure is applied. This initial gentle infusion wets the coffee grounds, allowing them to bloom and release trapped gases while ensuring even saturation.

The purpose of pre-infusion is to promote more uniform extraction and enhance the overall flavor profile of the espresso. By saturating the coffee grounds evenly, pre-infusion helps prevent channeling (uneven extraction paths) and promotes a more balanced extraction. It can result in a smoother, sweeter, and less bitter cup of espresso.

Whether or not you need pre-infusion depends on personal preference and the specific characteristics of the coffee you're using. Some coffees may benefit from pre-infusion more than others. Factors such as roast level, bean freshness, and grind size can influence the need for pre-infusion. Lighter roasts and freshly roasted beans, for example, tend to benefit from pre-infusion as they may have more carbon dioxide trapped within the coffee grounds.
