Espresso Preparation

Measure Coffee Grounds
Weigh out 18 grams of freshly roasted espresso coffee grounds using a digital scale. Use a medium-fine grind for optimal extraction.

Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to preheat for at least 15 minutes. Ensure the portafilter is clean and dry.

Tamp the Coffee
Add the coffee grounds to the portafilter basket, leveling them off. Use a tamper to press the grounds evenly and firmly, applying about 30 pounds of pressure.

Extract the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the extraction process and watch for a flow of rich, caramel-colored espresso. Aim for a total extraction time of about 25-30 seconds for a double shot.
