Espresso Ingredients
Method
Espresso Preparation
- 1
Grind the Coffee Beans
Start by measuring 18 grams of espresso coffee beans. Use a burr grinder to grind the beans to a fine consistency, similar to table salt.
- 2
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to preheat for about 15-20 minutes. This ensures that the water is at the right temperature for brewing.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee Grounds
Once the beans are ground, place them in the portafilter. Use a tamper to compress the coffee evenly and firmly to ensure proper extraction.
- 4
Add Water
Measure 60 ml of filtered water and ensure that your espresso machine's water reservoir is filled with fresh water.
- 5
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Brew for approximately 25-30 seconds until you have a rich, dark espresso shot.
