Method
NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
- 1
Prepare equipment
Rinse and pre-warm the espresso machine, portafilter, tamper, and preheat a small demitasse cup.
- 2
Weigh 18 g of freshly ground espresso coffee beans and grind to a fine consistency suitable for espresso extraction.
- 3
Distribute the ground coffee evenly in the portafilter, then tamp with firm even pressure (~30-40 pounds) to create a level, compact puck.
- 4
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and begin extraction, aiming to pull approximately 36 ml of espresso over 25-30 seconds.
- 5
Serve immediately in the pre-warmed demitasse cup; enjoy as is or with a small amount of hot water on the side if a lighter cup is preferred.
