Espresso Ingredients
Method
Espresso Preparation
- 1
Prep the Coffee
Measure 18g of freshly ground coffee beans using a kitchen scale. The grind should be fine, similar to table salt for optimal extraction.
- 2
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up for about 15 minutes. Ensure that the portafilter is clean and dry.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee
Add the ground coffee to the portafilter basket and distribute it evenly. Use a tamper to press the coffee down firmly and evenly. The pressure should be around 30 pounds.
- 4
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the extraction process, and let 60ml of espresso brew for about 25-30 seconds. Monitor the flow; it should resemble warm honey.
- 5
Serve
Once the espresso is brewed, serve it immediately in a pre-warmed espresso cup. Enjoy your double espresso straight or with a splash of water.
