How To Brew
Ensure that your espresso machine is clean and free from any old coffee residue. Clean the filter and head where the filter attaches to the machine.
Measure the right amount of coffee grounds for your espresso shot using a scale. Use a tamper to evenly compact the grounds.
ld take around 25-30 seconds for a single shot and 20-25 seconds for a double shot. The espresso should flow steadily in a thick, honey-like stream with a rich crema on top.
