What you'll need

  • Espresso machine
  • Espresso-specific grinder
  • 18-gram portafilter basket
  • Tamper
  • Timer
  • Shot glasses
  • Gram scale
  • Clean towels
  • Freshly roasted coffee

Recommended Grind - Fine

STEP 1

Remove the portafilter and wipe it dry. Rinse / purge the group head for 1-2 seconds. Grind roughly 18 grams of coffee to a consistency that is slightly coarser than powdered sugar. 

STEP 2

Level the grounds bed by tapping gently on the side of the basket.

STEP 3

Tamp once, straight down, until the coffee stops compressing. Wipe and clear the rim of the portafilter basket of any loose coffee grounds.

STEP 4

Rinse/purge the group head for one to two seconds. Insert the portafilter and brew immediately into prewarmed shot glasses, aiming for a yield of 35–45ml.
