Espresso Ingredients
Method
Espresso Preparation
- 1
Measure the Coffee
Using a digital scale, measure out 18 grams of freshly ground espresso coffee. The grind should be fine, resembling table salt.
- 2
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Ensure that your espresso machine is clean and properly set up. Turn on the machine and allow it to heat up for about 10 minutes.
- 3
Add Coffee to Portafilter
Place the measured coffee into the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to evenly compress the coffee grounds with about 30 pounds of pressure, making sure it's level.
- 4
Lock the Portafilter
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine's group head securely.
- 5
Start Brewing
Start the brewing process by activating the espresso machine. Aim for a brewing time of 25-30 seconds to extract the perfect shot.
- 6
Serve
Once the espresso shot is finished, serve it immediately in a pre-warmed espresso cup. Enjoy your espresso as is, or use it as a base for other coffee drinks.
