Preparation

Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency. The grind should be similar to table salt.

Brewing

Tamp the Coffee Grounds
Once the coffee is ground, place it in the portafilter. Use the tamper to compress the coffee grounds evenly and firmly, ensuring a flat surface.

Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the brewing process and let 60 ml of hot water flow through the coffee grounds for about 25-30 seconds, or until you have a rich, dark espresso shot.
