Main Ingredients
- 18–20 grams Fresh, high-quality dark-roasted espresso beans

- Grind Your Espresso Beans: Begin with freshly roasted espresso beans and grind them to a fine consistency just before brewing to capture the peak flavor and aroma.
- Preheat Your Espresso Machine: Ensure your espresso machine is warmed up to the ideal temperature range of 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit to guarantee optimal extraction.
- Brew the Espresso: Measure about 18-20 grams of ground beans for a double shot. Brew under high pressure between 9 to 15 bars for 25 to 30 seconds to achieve rich crema and bold body.
- Customize Your Cup: Add sweeteners, milk, milk alternatives, or spices according to your preferred variation, or enjoy the espresso straight for maximum intensity.
Notes
