Espresso Ingredients
Method
Espresso Preparation
- 1
Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a burr grinder, grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency, similar to table salt. Ensure the grind is uniform for the best extraction.
- 2
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up for at least 15-30 minutes. This ensures that the machine reaches the optimal brewing temperature.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee Grounds
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to press down firmly and evenly, applying around 30 pounds of pressure. Ensure the surface is level for uniform extraction.
- 4
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Brew for approximately 25-30 seconds, aiming for a yield of about 30 ml of espresso.
- 5
Serve the Espresso
Once brewed, carefully remove the portafilter and discard the used coffee grounds. Pour the freshly brewed espresso into a pre-warmed espresso cup and serve immediately.
