Espresso Preparation Steps
- 1
Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind 20 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency. The texture should resemble that of table salt.

Prepare the Espresso Machine
Ensure your espresso machine is clean and ready for use. Fill the water reservoir with 60 ml of filtered water and turn on the machine to preheat.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee Grounds
Place the finely ground coffee into the portafilter. Use a tamper to evenly press down the grounds with firm pressure, ensuring an even surface.
- 4
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. The espresso should start to flow in about 5 seconds and finish brewing in approximately 25-30 seconds.

Serve the Espresso
Once the espresso has finished brewing, pour it into a pre-warmed espresso cup. Enjoy your freshly brewed espresso immediately.
