Espresso Ingredients

Method

Espresso Preparation

  1. 1

    Grind the Coffee Beans

    Using a burr grinder, grind 18g of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency, similar to granulated sugar.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Espresso Machine

    Ensure that your espresso machine is clean and warmed up. Fill the water reservoir with fresh, filtered water.

  3. 3

    Tamp the Coffee

    Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to evenly compress the coffee grounds with firm, even pressure.

  4. 4

    Brew the Espresso

    Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Aim for a brewing time of about 25-30 seconds.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the espresso has finished brewing, serve immediately in a pre-warmed espresso cup. Enjoy your freshly brewed espresso!
