Method
Brewing Espresso
- 1
Prepare the Equipment
Ensure your espresso machine is clean and ready to use. Fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water.
- 2
Grind the Coffee Beans
Measure 18 grams of espresso coffee beans. Use a burr grinder to grind the beans to a fine consistency, similar to table salt.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to compress the coffee evenly and firmly to create a level surface.

Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the brewing process and let the water flow through the coffee grounds for about 25 to 30 seconds.
- 5
Serve the Espresso
Once the brewing is complete, your espresso should have a rich crema on top. Serve immediately in a small espresso cup.
