How to Prepare Espresso Coffee
- Grind 18-20 grams of fresh coffee beans to a fine consistency.
- Tamp the ground coffee evenly into the portafilter with about 30 pounds of pressure.
- Attach the portafilter to the espresso machine and start the extraction.
- Run hot water (about 195-205°F) through the coffee for 25-30 seconds to yield a 2-ounce shot.
- Serve immediately, topped with the natural crema, and enjoy!
