Coffee Ingredients
Equipment
Method
Preparation
- 1
Grind the Coffee Beans
Use a coffee grinder to grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency, similar to table salt. This ensures optimal extraction during brewing.
- 2
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up for about 15-20 minutes. This ensures the water is at the right temperature for brewing.
Brewing
- 3
Tamp the Coffee
Once the coffee is ground, place it in the portafilter. Use a tamper to compress the coffee evenly, applying firm pressure to create a smooth and flat coffee puck.
- 4
Brewing the Espresso
Insert the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the brewing process and allow 30 ml of filtered water to flow through the coffee grounds for about 25-30 seconds. This should yield a rich, dark espresso shot.
- 5
Serve the Espresso
Once the brewing is complete, remove the portafilter and clean it. Pour the freshly brewed espresso shot into a coffee cup and serve immediately.
