Method
Espresso Preparation
- 1
Grind Coffee Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind 18 grams of coffee beans to a fine consistency, similar to table salt. This will enhance the extraction process during brewing.
- 2
Prepare Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to preheat for about 15 minutes. Ensure that the portafilter is clean and dry.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee
Place the ground coffee in the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to press down firmly and evenly, creating a smooth, flat surface. This step is crucial for even extraction.
- 4
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the brewing process and allow the espresso to flow into a pre-warmed cup. The extraction should take about 25-30 seconds, yielding approximately 30 ml of espresso.
