Espresso Preparation

Grind the Coffee Beans
Start by measuring 18 grams of espresso coffee beans. Grind them using a burr grinder until you achieve a fine consistency, similar to table salt.

Prepare the Espresso Machine
Make sure your espresso machine is clean and preheated. Fill the water reservoir with filtered water and ensure the portafilter is ready.

Tamp the Coffee Grounds
Transfer the ground coffee into the portafilter. Use a tamper to press down firmly and evenly on the coffee grounds, creating a smooth, level surface.

Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start brewing and allow 30 ml of espresso to extract over approximately 25-30 seconds.

Serve the Espresso
Once the brewing is complete, carefully remove the cup from the espresso machine. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
