Coffee & Espresso Ingredients

Method

Brewing Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Start by measuring out 1 cup of freshly ground coffee beans. Choose a medium to dark roast for a rich flavor.

  2. 2

    Boil the Water

    In a kettle, bring 2 cups of filtered water to a boil. Once boiling, let it cool for about 30 seconds to reach the ideal brewing temperature (around 200°F or 93°C).

  3. 3

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker, add the ground coffee to the portafilter. Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds and allow the espresso to brew for about 25-30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once brewed, pour the espresso into a pre-warmed cup and enjoy immediately. Optionally, you can add sugar, milk, or foam to taste.
