To get started, grind 17 g of coffee beans, slightly coarser than what you would use for espresso. Our targeted brew ratio is 1:4, which means we want 68 g of the final yield.
Turn on your espresso machine and let it heat to reach the ideal hot water temperature.
Scoop the desired amount of coffee grounds into the portafilter, ensuring a level surface. Give it a firm tamp to create a compact, even ground bed.
Reattach the portafilter to the espresso machine, making sure it is securely in place. Position a preheated espresso cup under the portafilter spout to collect the delicious brewed espresso.
Initiate the extraction by pressing the brew button or pulling the lever, allowing the espresso to flow steadily from the portafilter into the cup.
Aim for an extraction time of approximately 28 seconds, using a coffee scale to measure a desired yield of around 68 grams. Adjust the grind size and extraction time as needed to achieve the desired yield.
