How to prepare Espresso coffee with an automatic coffee maker
Prepare materials
Choosing good coffee will be the deciding factor in the quality of your espresso. You should use pure, unadulterated coffee.
Preparing the water source is also an important step in making coffee. The water source used to make coffee must be clean, pure, free of impurities.
Currently, some high-end coffee makers are also equipped with a water filtration feature, to ensure the quality of cups of coffee after brewing.
Start the coffee maker
20 - 30 minutes before making coffee, start the machine to heat the boiler and coffee cup.
The temperature indicator needle should be at 85 - 92 degrees Celsius and the pressure should be 8.3 - 9.3 bar.
Grind coffee powder
You just need to put the coffee beans into the machine to grind. After grinding, take a sufficient amount of coffee and put it in the handle.
Normally, to make 30ml of espresso, you need to use about 8g of ground coffee.
Compress coffee
After putting coffee powder into the handle, use temper to compress the coffee.
When compressing, you need to use moderate force, not too strong nor too weak to ensure the coffee is compressed evenly in the handle.
Make coffee
Drain the water at the group head for about 3 to 5 seconds before inserting the handle so that the machine cleans the coffee head and stabilizes the water temperature.
Wait for the machine to extract coffee into cups. The brewing time for a 30 ml cup of coffee will be about 20 to 25 seconds.
Finished product
Espresso coffee has a passionate aroma and a rich bitter taste. When enjoying, take small sips to feel the wonderful taste of coffee in your mouth. If you like, you can add sugar to your coffee to enjoy.
