- 1
Grind the Coffee Beans
Start by weighing out 18 grams of espresso coffee beans. Use a burr grinder to grind the beans to a fine consistency suitable for espresso brewing. The grind should feel like table salt.

Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up. Ensure that the portafilter is clean and dry before use.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee Grounds
Once ground, add the coffee to the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to press down firmly on the coffee grounds to create an even surface. Aim for about 30 pounds of pressure for proper extraction.

Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the brewing process and let 60 ml of water flow through the coffee grounds. The extraction should take about 25-30 seconds. You should see a rich, dark liquid with a golden crema on top.
