Espresso Ingredients

Method

Brewing Instructions

  1. 1

    Grind the Coffee Beans

    Using a coffee grinder, measure 18 grams of decaffeinated espresso coffee beans and grind them to a fine consistency, similar to table salt. This is crucial to ensure optimal extraction during brewing.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Espresso Machine

    Fill the espresso machine's water reservoir with 60 ml of filtered water. Ensure the machine is clean and ready for use.

  3. 3

    Tamp the Ground Coffee

    Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket of the espresso machine. Use a tamper to apply even pressure, compressing the grounds to create a uniform puck. Aim for a firm but not overly hard tamp.

  4. 4

    Brew the Espresso

    Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. The espresso should take about 25-30 seconds to extract. You should see a rich, creamy layer of crema on top of the espresso.

  5. 5

    Serve the Espresso

    Once brewed, pour the decaf espresso into a preheated espresso cup. Enjoy your decaf espresso straight or add milk or sweetener according to your preference.
