Espresso Ingredients

Method

Espresso Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso Machine

    Turn on your espresso machine and let it preheat for at least 15-20 minutes to ensure optimal brewing temperature.

  2. 2

    Measure and Grind Coffee

    Weigh out 18 grams of freshly roasted coffee beans and grind them to a fine consistency suitable for espresso.

  3. 3

    Tamp the Coffee

    Place the ground coffee into the portafilter and evenly distribute it. Use a tamper to compact the coffee evenly with a firm pressure.

  4. 4

    Brew the Espresso

    Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the brewing process and aim for a shot time of around 25-30 seconds to extract a rich and flavorful espresso.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once brewed, serve the espresso immediately in a pre-warmed cup to enjoy the full aroma and flavor.
