How to make Espresso?

Here are the instructions on how to make Espresso with a Espresso machine.

1.    1. Grab the Porta filter and make it dry by wiping it with a dry towel.
2.     Put the dry Porta filter under the Coffee Bean grinder.
3.     Turn on the Coffee bean grinder and grind (Grind size = Fine) 8 to 10 grams of                  roasted coffee beans.
4.     Distribute and Tamp the Coffee evenly in the Porta filter.
5.     Put the Porta filter in the group head of the Espresso machine.
6.     Turn on the machine to start the brewing process.
7.     Brew 30ml of liquid(Espresso) within 20 to 25 seconds.
8.     Turn off the brewing.

This is how you normally make Espresso using a Espresso machine but this is not the only method of brewing Espresso. There are other methods of brewing Espresso.
Like the 1:2, 1:2.5, 1:1.5 etc.

What do you do while you use these brewing methods?

For example if we use 1:2, here we will brew 2 times the amount of liquid(Espresso) per amount of Coffee. That is 2gm liquid per 1gm Coffee used.

So if we grind and use 10gm of Coffee then we will brew 20gm of liquid Espresso within 20 to 25 seconds time frame to get the best possible taste.

In these methods we do not focus on extracting exactly 30ml of liquid espresso. The amount we extract depends on how much Coffee we decide to use according to the type of Coffee that we have.
This results in getting to control the taste of our Coffee drinks.

How to make Espresso at home?

To make Espresso at home you can use French Press, Mocha Pot, V60 etc.
You will also need a manual Coffee bean grinder.
Or you could also buy Espresso machines that are smaller in size and most best for home use.
