Method
Brewing Espresso
- 1
Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency similar to table salt. This will ensure optimal extraction during brewing.
- 2
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up for about 10 minutes. Ensure that the portafilter is clean and dry.
- 3
Measure Water
Measure 30 ml of filtered water using a measuring cup. This will be the amount of water used to brew the espresso.
- 4
Tamp the Coffee Grounds
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket and use a tamper to evenly press the coffee down with firm pressure. This helps create a uniform extraction.
- 5
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Allow the espresso to brew for about 25-30 seconds until you see a rich, dark brown liquid with a layer of crema on top.
