Method
Preparing the Espresso
- 1
Grind the Coffee Beans
Use a burr grinder to grind 18 grams of single origin coffee beans to a fine consistency, similar to table salt. This will ensure optimal extraction.
- 2
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Preheat your espresso machine and ensure it’s clean. Place the portafilter on the scale and add the ground coffee to it, leveling it off.
- 3
Tamp the Coffee
Use a tamper to press the coffee grounds evenly and firmly into the portafilter. Aim for about 30 pounds of pressure to create a uniform packed bed.
- 4
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Use filtered water at about 90-95°C (194-203°F) to extract the espresso.
- 5
Serve the Espresso
Once the brewing is complete (about 25-30 seconds), serve the espresso immediately in a pre-warmed cup.
