Note “Dial-in espresso” est un jargon barista qui signifie régler l’extraction d’un espresso (trouver les bons réglages).
Traductions naturelles selon le contexte :
réglage de l’espresso / régler l’espresso
- caler l’extraction (pro)
- ajuster la mouture et l’extraction
- (pour des débutants) trouver les bons réglages pour l’espresso
Idée complète (pro) :
Exemple : Dial in the espresso by adjusting grind size, dose, and shot time to hit a 1:2 ratio in ~25–30 s. →
Régler l’espresso en ajustant la finesse de mouture, la dose et le temps d’écoulement pour atteindre un ratio 1:2 en ~25–30 s.
