Bought myself 500g of monmouth espresso to practice with on my new coffee machine (cheap morphy richards thing) but when I asked for it to be ground for a home espresso machine they've turned it to a fine dust and it's almost impossible to get a palatable shot from it. no matter what I do it's horrifically bitter and tastes burnt. have tried high dose/low dose. hard tamp/loose-ish tamp. anyone got any suggestions for how to salvage it.
if not it looks like i'll have to do something similiar to the post above and run it through my aeropress although that tastes just as bad at the moment.
