1. A method of preparing espresso comprising: providing ground coffee to a brew chamber of an espresso machine; performing a first compression of the ground coffee with a pressure from about 10 kg to about 60 kg; performing a second compression of the ground coffee with a pressure from about 60 kg to about 500 kg; and forcing heated and pressurized water through the ground coffee, thereby extracting espresso.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the performing a first compression of the ground coffee comprises compressing the ground coffee with a pressure from about 15 kg to about 55 kg.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein performing a first compression of the ground coffee comprises compressing the ground coffee with a pressure from about 20 kg to about 40 kg.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein performing a first compression of the ground coffee comprises compressing the ground coffee with a pressure from about 30 kg to about 33 kg.

- alanctgardner2 14y agoI can see the need for two claims, one which specifies a range ( to protect against similar claims with different numbers ), and a second which specifies the precise, desired pressure. The intermediate ones are mysterious to me.
- trothamel 14y agoCould it be to try to "claim" multiple ranges? With the idea being that if someone finds prior art that covers one of the larger ranges, Starbucks gets to "keep" the smaller ranges? And if so, does anyone know where we can get a good deal on pitchforks?
