Espresso Ingredients
Optional Garnishes
Method
Making the Espresso
Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a burr grinder, grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency, resembling table salt.
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up for at least 10-15 minutes. Ensure the portafilter is clean and dry.
Tamp the Coffee Grounds
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter and evenly distribute it. Using a tamper, apply firm and even pressure to compact the coffee grounds.
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the machine and start the brewing process. Aim for a brew time of 25-30 seconds to extract about 60 ml of espresso.
Serve the Espresso
Pour the freshly brewed double espresso into a pre-warmed cup, ensuring a rich layer of crema forms on top.
Adding Optional Garnishes
Sweeten the Espresso (Optional)
If desired, stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar into the hot espresso until dissolved.
Garnish with Cocoa Powder (Optional)
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder on top of the espresso for added flavor.
Add Milk or Cream (Optional)
If you prefer a creamier drink, pour 30 ml of milk or cream into the espresso and stir gently.
