Espresso Preparation Instructions
- 1
Preheat the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to preheat for about 15-20 minutes. This ensures that the machine reaches the optimal temperature for brewing.

Grind the Coffee
Using a burr grinder, grind 18 grams of fresh coffee beans to a fine consistency, similar to table salt. Make sure to grind just before brewing for the best flavor.

Tamp the Coffee
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter and use a tamper to compress the grounds evenly and firmly. Aim for a consistent level and pressure to ensure even extraction.

Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Aim for a brew time of 25-30 seconds for the extraction to yield a rich and flavorful espresso shot.

Serve
Once brewed, serve the espresso immediately in a pre-warmed cup to maintain its temperature and flavor. Enjoy your perfect shot of espresso!
