Espresso Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Coffee
Measure out 18 grams of freshly ground espresso coffee. Make sure the grind is fine, similar to table salt, to ensure optimal extraction.
- 2
Set Up the Espresso Machine
Fill the water reservoir of your espresso machine with filtered water. Make sure the machine is plugged in and turned on, allowing it to heat up for about 15-20 minutes.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket evenly. Use a tamper to press down firmly and evenly, creating a level surface. Aim for a pressure of about 30 pounds.

Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine’s group head. Start the brewing process and let the espresso extract for about 25-30 seconds. You should see a rich, dark liquid with a layer of crema on top.

Serve
Once the espresso is brewed, pour it into a pre-warmed espresso cup. Enjoy your double espresso as is, or use it as a base for other coffee drinks.
