Espresso Base

Optional Add-ons

Method

Preparing the Espresso

  1. 1

    Grind the Coffee Beans

    Use a coffee grinder to grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency suitable for espresso.

  2. 2

    Prepare Your Espresso Machine

    Ensure your espresso machine is clean and ready for use. Fill the water reservoir with fresh, filtered water.

  3. 3

    Tamp the Coffee Grounds

    Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket and tamp it down firmly and evenly to create a compact puck.

  4. 4

    Brew the Espresso

    Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Allow the machine to extract the espresso for about 25-30 seconds until you obtain a rich, dark liquid.

Serving the Espresso

  1. 5

    Pour and Serve

    Once brewed, pour the double espresso into a pre-warmed espresso cup. If desired, add sugar and stir until dissolved.

  2. 6

    Optional Milk or Cream

    If you prefer a creamier texture, steam the milk or cream to your liking and pour it over the espresso for a smooth finish.
