Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Grind the Coffee Beans

    Use a coffee grinder to finely grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans until they reach a powdery consistency.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Espresso Machine

    Ensure your espresso machine is clean and filled with filtered water. Turn it on to heat up the water.

Brewing

  1. 3

    Add Coffee to Portafilter

    Once the water has heated, place the finely ground coffee into the portafilter of the espresso machine. Use a tamper to compress the coffee evenly.

  2. 4

    Brew the Espresso

    Lock the portafilter in place on the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Allow the espresso to extract for about 25-30 seconds until you have approximately 30 ml of espresso.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Once brewed, pour the espresso into a small cup and serve immediately, enjoying the rich aroma and flavor.
