Espresso Ingredients
Method
Espresso Preparation
- 1
Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency, similar to table salt.
- 2
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on the espresso machine and allow it to heat up for about 15-20 minutes. Ensure that the portafilter is clean and dry.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee
Add the finely ground coffee into the portafilter basket, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Use a tamper to apply firm, even pressure to compress the coffee grounds.
- 4
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the brewing process and allow 30 ml of filtered water to pass through the coffee grounds over the course of 25-30 seconds.
- 5
Serve the Espresso
Once brewed, carefully remove the portafilter and discard the used coffee grounds. Pour the freshly brewed espresso into a pre-warmed espresso cup and serve immediately.
