Espresso Ingredients

Method

Espresso Preparation

  1. 1

    Grind the Coffee Beans

    Use a burr grinder to grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Espresso Machine

    Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to reach the optimal brewing temperature (around 90-95°C or 194-203°F).

  3. 3

    Tamp the Coffee

    Place the ground coffee into the portafilter and evenly distribute. Use a tamper to compress the coffee grounds firmly.

  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 brewed, serve the espresso shot immediately in a pre-warmed cup.
