Espresso Preparation

Grind the Beans
Using a burr grinder, grind 18 grams of freshly roasted espresso beans to a fine consistency. The grind should resemble table salt or sugar.

Set Up the Espresso Machine
Ensure your espresso machine is clean and preheated. Fill the water reservoir with filtered water and turn on the machine to get it ready for brewing.

Tamp the Coffee Grounds
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket. Distribute the grounds evenly, then use a tamper to press down firmly, creating a compact puck. Aim for 30 pounds of pressure.
