How to brew: Espresso at home

Introduction:

Vietnamese coffee is excellent as espressos and in espresso-based drinks. On days when you need an extra kick on your caffeine, a shot of espresso makes for a great companion. A concentrated form of coffee that has a stronger flavor and thicker texture than other drinks, espresso is made by forcing pressurized hot water through very finely ground coffee beans using an espresso machine.

Method:

  1. Pre-heat your espresso machine.
  2. Use our Espresso ground and measure your coffee grounds properly. A single espresso shot requires between 6 and 8 grams of coffee grounds.
  3. Place the coffee grounds in the portafilter. Tap it gently on the tamping mat to distribute the coffee evenly and ensure that there are no air pockets.
  4. Take the tamper and press it down straight onto the coffee grounds. Give the tamper a quick spin to make sure the coffee grounds are perfectly evened out. Brush off any excess grounds on the top or side.
  5. Insert the portafilter handle into the group head and start brewing. Once the machine stops after 25-30 seconds.
  6. Remove the cup from the machine tray and drink it pure or add steaming milk to make a latte or macchiato.
