Method
Preparation
- 1
Grind the Coffee
Using a coffee grinder, grind 18g of espresso coffee beans to a fine texture, similar to granulated sugar. This is crucial for extracting the best flavor during brewing.
- 2
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up for at least 15-20 minutes. This ensures that the brewing temperature is optimal for extracting espresso.
Brewing
- 3
Tamp the Coffee
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to compress the coffee evenly. Apply firm, even pressure until it is level and compacted, which helps in creating a good extraction.

Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Allow 30 ml of filtered water to pass through the coffee grounds, which should take about 25-30 seconds. You should see a rich, dark liquid flowing into the espresso cup.
