Brew the Ristretto
Using an espresso machine, place the coffee grounds in the portafilter and tamp down evenly. Lock the portafilter into the machine. Start the brewing process and allow the water to pass through the coffee grounds for about 15-20 seconds, yielding a shot of ristretto. Aim for a volume of approximately 15-20 ml.
