Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz of finely ground espresso beans
- Water
Instructions
- Start by measuring out 1.5 oz of finely ground espresso beans.
- Fill the espresso machine's portafilter with the ground espresso, and use a tamper to press the grounds firmly.
- Attach the portafilter to the espresso machine and place a cup underneath.
- Turn on the machine and allow the water to pass through the grounds, extracting the espresso into the cup.
- The process should take about 25-30 seconds, and you should end up with about 1 oz of espresso in the cup.
- Enjoy your classic espresso as is, or use it as a base for other coffee drinks like lattes or cappuccinos.
Espresso, a strong and concentrated coffee, originated in Italy in the early 20th century. It was first created by Luigi Bezzera, who patented a machine that forced hot water through finely ground coffee, resulting in a quick and intense brew. This method revolutionized coffee culture, leading to the proliferation of espresso bars throughout Italy. Today, the best espresso can still be found in Italy, particularly in regions like Milan and Rome. The key to a perfect espresso lies in the quality of the coffee beans and the precision of the brewing process. For a twist, try the popular alternative method of making espresso using a Moka pot, which produces a similar rich flavor.
