Coffee

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Grind the Coffee

    Use a burr grinder to grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency similar to table salt.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Espresso Machine

    Turn on the espresso machine and allow it to warm up for at least 15-20 minutes. Ensure the portafilter is clean and dry.

  3. 3

    Tamp the Coffee

    Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to compress the coffee evenly with about 30 pounds of pressure for a uniform extraction.

  4. 4

    Brew the Espresso

    Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the extraction process and allow the water to flow through the coffee for about 25-30 seconds, yielding approximately 60 ml of espresso.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Pour the freshly brewed espresso into a pre-warmed cup and enjoy it immediately. For a doppio espresso, repeat the brewing process for a double shot or use a double basket in the portafilter.
