Espresso Ingredients

Method

Espresso Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Equipment

    Ensure that your espresso machine is clean and ready for use. Fill the water reservoir with filtered water.

  2. 2

    Grind the Coffee

    Use a burr grinder to grind 18 grams of fresh coffee beans to a fine consistency, similar to table salt.

  3. 3

    Tamp the Coffee

    Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to press the coffee down evenly with firm pressure, ensuring a level surface.

  4. 4

    Brew the Espresso

    Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the brewing process and allow the espresso to extract for approximately 25-30 seconds.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the espresso has finished brewing, serve it immediately in a pre-warmed espresso cup. Enjoy your freshly brewed espresso!
