Espresso Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Measure out 18 grams of freshly ground coffee beans and place them into the portafilter.

  2. 2

    Tamp the Coffee

    Evenly distribute the coffee grounds in the portafilter and use a tamper to press down firmly, creating a smooth, even surface.

  3. 3

    Heat the Espresso Machine

    Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up for about 15 minutes to ensure optimal brewing temperature.

  4. 4

    Brew the Espresso

    Lock the portafilter into the machine and start the brew cycle. Allow the espresso to extract for about 25-30 seconds.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once brewed, serve the espresso in a small cup and enjoy immediately.
