Espresso Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Coffee Grounds
Measure 18 grams of freshly ground coffee beans using a digital scale for accuracy. The coffee should be ground to a fine consistency, similar to table salt, to ensure proper extraction.

Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to heat up for about 15-20 minutes. This ensures that the machine reaches the optimal brewing temperature.

Add Coffee to Portafilter
Once the machine is heated, take the portafilter and add the 18 grams of ground coffee. Use a tamper to evenly compress the coffee grounds to create a level surface.

Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine's group head. Start the brewing process and allow the water to pass through the coffee grounds for about 25-30 seconds, aiming for a yield of approximately 30-40 ml of espresso.
