Espresso Ingredients
Method
Espresso Preparation
- 1
Measure the Coffee
Weigh out 18 grams of freshly ground coffee beans using a kitchen scale. Ensure the grind is fine, similar to table salt, for optimal extraction.
- 2
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up for about 15-20 minutes. This ensures the machine is at the right temperature for brewing.
- 3
Add Coffee to Portafilter
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket. Distribute the coffee evenly and use a tamper to compress it firmly to create a uniform surface.
- 4
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the brewing process by pressing the brew button. Allow the espresso to extract for about 25-30 seconds until you see a rich, dark liquid flowing.
