Espresso Ingredients

Method

Brewing Instructions

  1. 1

    Grind the Coffee Beans

    Using a coffee grinder, grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency, similar to table salt.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Espresso Machine

    Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up for about 15-20 minutes. Ensure that the portafilter is clean.

  3. 3

    Tamp the Coffee

    Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket and use a tamper to press it down evenly with about 30 pounds of pressure.

  4. 4

    Brew the Espresso

    Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine's group head. Start the brewing process and let 30 ml of water pass through the coffee grounds over a period of about 25-30 seconds.

  5. 5

    Serve and Enjoy

    Once the espresso has brewed, pour it into a pre-warmed espresso cup and enjoy your freshly made espresso.
