Coffee Preparation
- 1
Grind the Coffee Beans
Begin by grinding 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency. The grind size is crucial for a good extraction, so make sure it resembles table salt.
- 2
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to preheat for about 15 minutes. This ensures that the machine is at the optimal temperature for brewing.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee Grounds
Once the coffee is ground, place it in the portafilter. Use a tamper to firmly compress the coffee grounds evenly. Aim for about 30 pounds of pressure to ensure a good extraction.
- 4
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Use 60 ml of water to extract the double espresso, aiming for a brew time of 25 to 30 seconds.
- 5
Serve
Once the espresso has been brewed, pour it into a pre-warmed cup. Enjoy your double espresso straight or with a splash of water, if desired.
