Using a digital scale, measure out 18 grams of freshly ground coffee beans. Ensure the grind size is fine, similar to table salt.

Prepare Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up for about 15-20 minutes. This ensures that the brewing temperature is optimal.

Tamp the Coffee
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket and distribute it evenly. Use a tamper to press down firmly to create a level surface. Aim for around 30 pounds of pressure.
