Espresso Ingredients
Method
Espresso Preparation
- 1
Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a burr grinder, grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans until you achieve a fine consistency, similar to table salt.
- 2
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up for at least 15-20 minutes to ensure the optimal brewing temperature.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to evenly compress the coffee grounds with firm pressure, making sure the surface is level.
- 4
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the brewing process and allow 30 ml of filtered water to pass through the coffee grounds, which should take about 25-30 seconds.
- 5
Serve
Once brewed, serve the espresso immediately in a pre-warmed espresso cup. Enjoy it as is or with a sugar cube or a dash of flavored syrup, if desired.
