<p>Have you considered disregarding colour entirely, but instead, focusing on adjusting yield and time to achieve the best drink?</p>

<p>OK, so after making sure that you have 20 grams in your basket, adjust your grinder so that you get 40 grams of expresso in 30 seconds. </p>
<p>That may not taste anything like the best but it will give you a good starting point.</p>
