Espresso ratio: A common "golden standard" for espresso is a 1:2 brew ratio, meaning for every 20 grams of coffee grounds, you aim for about 40 grams of espresso.

Are coffee beans better or pre-ground coffee powder?
Freshly grinding your freshly roasted coffee beans just before brewing ensures you are extracting the freshest taste possible from those beans. As coffee beans release aromas and oil upon being broken up, these easily get lost the longer the wait between grinding and brewing. Of course, what’s most important is finding the beans perfect for your palate.

I have heard that freshly roasted beans should not be used for a few days. Is this correct?

Most baristas agree that consuming your coffee beans anywhere between 7-21 days after the stated roast date will give you the best-tasting coffee. It's important to note that if you plan on buying coffee for immediate use, you shouldn't purchase beans that have been roasted less than a week prior.
