Espresso Ingredients

Method

Espresso Preparation

1

Step 1: Prepare Equipment

Ensure your espresso machine is clean and ready for use. Fill the water reservoir with filtered water and turn the machine on to heat up.

2

Step 2: Measure Coffee

Weigh out 18 grams of freshly ground espresso beans using a digital scale. The grind should be fine, similar to table salt.

3

Step 3: Pack the Portafilter

Place the ground coffee into the portafilter basket, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Use a tamper to press down firmly, creating a smooth and even puck.

4

Step 4: Brew the Espresso

Lock the portafilter into the espresso machine. Start the brewing process and allow it to extract for about 25-30 seconds. You should aim to achieve approximately 60 ml of espresso.

Step 5: Serve

Once brewed, serve the espresso in a pre-warmed cup. Enjoy your rich and bold double espresso!
