Espresso Ingredients
Method
Espresso Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Equipment
Start by ensuring your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker is clean and ready to use. Fill the water reservoir with filtered water.
- 2
Grind the Coffee Beans
Measure out 18 grams of freshly roasted coffee beans. Use a burr grinder to grind the coffee to a fine consistency, similar to table salt.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to press the coffee down evenly and firmly to create a smooth, level surface.
- 4
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine's group head. Start the brewing process, aiming for a brew time of about 25-30 seconds. You should see a rich, dark liquid flow from the spout.
