Espresso Recipes

I’ve been making my own espresso at home, and it's become a delightful ritual. The rich aroma, the intense flavor—it's like a mini luxury every morning. Here's how I do it:

Ingredients:​

• Freshly ground espresso beans (about 18-20 grams)
• Filtered water

Instructions:​

1. Preheat the machine: Turn on your espresso machine and let it heat up. This ensures consistent temperature.
2. Grind the beans: Use a fine grind setting. The grind should be like fine sand.
3. Tamp the grounds: Place the coffee grounds into the portafilter and tamp them down firmly and evenly.
4. Brew: Lock the portafilter into the machine and start the extraction. Aim for about 25-30 seconds for a double shot.
5. Enjoy: Pour your espresso into a pre-warmed cup and savor the rich, velvety taste.

Making espresso at home is a simple pleasure that transforms your coffee experience. Give it a try, and you might just find it’s the best part of your day!

Personally, I prefer a pour-over coffee. It just gives a different vibe to it!
