Espresso Preparation Instructions
Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a burr grinder, grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency. The grind should resemble that of table salt.
Prepare the Espresso Machine
Turn on your espresso machine and allow it to preheat for about 15 minutes. Ensure the portafilter is clean and dry.
Tamp the Coffee
Add the ground coffee to the portafilter basket. Use a tamper to press the grounds down evenly and firmly until the surface is flat and compact.
Brew the Espresso
Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the brewing process. Aim for a brew time of 25-30 seconds to extract a rich shot of espresso.
Serve
Once brewed, serve the espresso immediately in a pre-warmed espresso cup. Enjoy your freshly brewed espresso!
