COFFEE & TEA

  1. 1

    Preheat equipment

    Preheat the espresso machine, portafilter, and pre-warm the demitasse cup with hot water to maintain optimal extraction.

  2. 2

    Grind and weigh

    Weigh 18 g of fresh coffee and grind to a fine espresso grind just before brewing.

  3. 3

    Dose and distribute

    Dose the ground coffee into the portafilter and distribute evenly using a gentle back-and-forth motion to ensure an even puck.

  4. 4

    Tamp

    Tamp with about 30-45 pounds of pressure until the surface is level and compact.

  5. 5

    Brew

    Lock the portafilter in place and start the extraction. Collect 36-40 ml of espresso in approximately 25-30 seconds.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Swirl lightly, and serve the double espresso immediately in the preheated cup.
