Method

Brewing Instructions

  1. 1

    Grind the Coffee

    Using a burr grinder, grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency suitable for espresso.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Espresso Machine

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

  3. 3

    Pack the Portafilter

    Place the ground coffee into the portafilter and tamp it down firmly and evenly to create a smooth, flat surface.

  4. 4

    Brew the Espresso

    Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Brew for about 25-30 seconds until you have a rich and creamy double shot (about 60 ml).

  5. 5

    Serve and Enjoy

    Serve the double espresso in a pre-warmed espresso cup and enjoy it straight or with a sprinkle of cocoa or sugar if desired.
