Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up for about 15-20 minutes to ensure the water reaches the ideal brewing temperature.

Grind the Coffee
Use a coffee grinder to grind 18 grams of freshly roasted espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency, similar to table salt.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket evenly. Use a tamper to press down firmly and evenly on the coffee grounds to create a smooth, flat surface.

Attach the Portafilter
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine's group head securely to prevent any leakage during brewing.
