Espresso Ingredients
Method
Espresso Preparation
- 1
Grind the Coffee
Using a burr grinder, grind 18 grams of freshly roasted coffee beans to a fine consistency, similar to table salt. This will ensure optimal extraction during brewing.
- 2
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to preheat for at least 15-20 minutes. This ensures that the water is at the correct temperature for brewing.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee Grounds
Place the ground coffee in the portafilter, leveling it off to create an even surface. Using a tamper, apply firm and even pressure to compress the coffee grounds into a puck.
- 4
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Aim for a brewing time of 25-30 seconds for a double shot of espresso, which should yield approximately 60 ml of espresso.
