Espresso Preparation
- 1
Measure the Coffee
Use a scale to measure out 18 grams of freshly ground coffee beans. Ensure that the grind is fine, similar to table salt.

Prepare the Water
Measure 60 ml of filtered water. The water should be at a temperature of about 90-95°C (194-203°F).
- 3
Pack the Coffee
Place the ground coffee in the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to compress the coffee evenly and firmly to create a level surface.
- 4
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brew cycle. Aim for a brew time of about 25-30 seconds for a double shot.
- 5
Serve the Espresso
Once brewed, pour the espresso into a pre-warmed espresso cup. You should have about 60 ml of rich, dark espresso.
