Method
Preparation
Grind the Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind 18g of freshly roasted espresso beans to a fine consistency. Ensure the grind is uniform for optimal extraction.
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Fill the espresso machine's water reservoir with 60ml of filtered water and ensure it is turned on to preheat.
Brewing
Tamp the Coffee
Place the ground espresso into the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to press the grounds evenly and firmly, creating a level surface.
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Extract the espresso for about 25-30 seconds until you see a rich, dark liquid with a golden crema on top.
Serve
Pour the brewed espresso into two coffee cups, serving immediately for the best flavor.
