Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Measure the Coffee Beans

    Using a digital scale, measure out 18 grams of freshly roasted espresso coffee beans.

  2. 2

    Grind the Coffee Beans

    Grind the coffee beans using an espresso grinder until they reach a fine consistency, similar to granulated sugar.

Brewing

  1. 3

    Prepare the Espresso Machine

    Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up for about 15-20 minutes. Make sure the portafilter is clean and dry.

  2. 4

    Pack the Coffee Grounds

    Once the coffee is ground, place it in the portafilter basket. Distribute the grounds evenly and use a tamper to press down firmly until they are compact.

  3. 5

    Brew the Espresso

    Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the brewing process and allow the espresso to extract for 25-30 seconds. You should yield about 30 ml of rich espresso.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Espresso

    Once brewed, pour the espresso into a pre-warmed espresso cup and serve immediately. Enjoy it as is, or with sugar or milk, as preferred.
