Espresso Ingredients
Method
Espresso Preparation
- 1
Grind the Coffee Beans
Measure out 18 grams of espresso coffee beans and grind them to a fine consistency using a burr grinder. The grind size should be 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. Ensure that the portafilter is clean and dry before use.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee
Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket and distribute it evenly. Using a tamper, apply firm and even pressure to compact the coffee grounds to create a smooth surface.
- 4
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine's group head. Start the brewing process and allow 30 ml of filtered water to pass through the coffee grounds for about 25-30 seconds, aiming for a rich and thick crema on top.

Serve and Enjoy
Once brewed, pour the espresso into a pre-warmed cup. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor, either straight or as a base for other coffee drinks.
