Espresso Preparation
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Ensure that your espresso machine is clean and preheated. Fill the water reservoir with filtered water.
Grind the Coffee
Grind 18 grams of fresh coffee beans to a fine consistency suitable for espresso.
Tamp the Coffee
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter and tamp it down firmly with even pressure to create a smooth, even surface.
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Brew for about 25-30 seconds until you achieve a rich, dark espresso shot.
Serve
Pour the espresso into a pre-warmed cup and serve immediately to enjoy the full flavor.
