What's inside.

01
First-shot dial-in

A step-by-step for grind size, dose, yield, ratio, and time. Read the shot, adjust one variable at a time, land in the window on day one.

02
Milk texturing

Angle, depth, wet phase, stretch phase, temperature target. Diagrammed so you can follow it while the wand is running.

03
90-day maintenance

A calendar tuned to your specific machine: backflush cadence, gasket check, descale interval, group-head care.

04
Common mistakes

The ten wrong-turn behaviors every beginner makes. Diagrammed fixes. Skip the six weeks of wondering why shots blond-shot.

05
Jargon glossary

Fines, channeling, blondes, coffee-forward, updosing, WDT, RDT, pre-infusion, brew ratio. Every r/espresso term, plain-language.

06
Your setup, typeset

The three tiers from the free picker, formatted as a designed document with prices and Amazon links, ready to print.

Questions.

Is $19 a one-time charge?+

Yes. Pay once, keep it. No subscription, no auto-renew.

How is the Playbook delivered?+

As a designed HTML page on this site. Your browser's print dialog renders it as a clean PDF you can save, email, or print. No PDF library, no dependency on our uptime forever.

Do I have to build my setup first?+

No. You can buy the Playbook without running the picker. If you do run the picker first, the Playbook opens with your three tiers pre-filled at the top.

What if I already know how to pull a shot?+

Then the value is the machine-specific maintenance calendar and the mistakes chapter. If you know all of that too, the free tool is the right tool for you.

Refunds?+

Email us within 14 days and we refund, no questions. The Playbook is a document; if it did not help, you should not have paid.
