Espresso Preparation Steps

Measure Coffee
Using a digital scale, measure out 18 grams of freshly ground coffee beans. The grind should be fine, similar to table salt.

Prepare Espresso Machine
Turn on the espresso machine and allow it to preheat for about 15-20 minutes. This ensures that the machine reaches the optimal temperature for brewing.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to compress the coffee evenly and firmly, ensuring a level surface.
- 4
Add Water
Fill the water reservoir of the espresso machine with filtered water, ensuring that it's at the appropriate level for brewing.

Brew Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the brewing process and let the espresso extract for about 25-30 seconds, resulting in 60 ml of espresso.

Serve
Once brewed, serve the espresso immediately in a pre-warmed espresso cup to retain the temperature and flavor.
