Espresso

Espresso coffee is a demanding brewing method, both in terms of equipment and commitment. But if you take on it, it can be incredibly rewarding. In addition to an espresso machine that maintains pressure and temperature, the grinder is an important player in getting the best possible result, partly because the coffee should be ground just before brewing but also to be able to adjust the grinding degree. There are a multitude of different forums and guides online if you are interested in buying espresso equipment for your home or office.

One tip is to dose up to 8-10 grams per espresso and then adjust the grind to get closer to the perfect espresso. Espresso coffee that has been allowed to rest for 1-3 weeks since roasting is generally both tastier and easier to brew.

How to brew espresso

Espresso is the most expensive, most complicated, and most difficult of all brewing methods. But once you get the hang of it, it can be the most fun, coolest, and most interesting. The beauty of espresso is that the result is revealed right from the moment you brew the drink. It should take 20 to 35 seconds to brew a 2 to 3 centiliter cup of coffee.

To make this work, the most important thing is to set the grinding level. The ground coffee should be somewhere between icing sugar and sand. If it flows too fast, grind it finer and vice versa. Then regulate the extraction with the amount of coffee in the filter. Dose up to between 8 to 10 grams per espresso.

These are the small adjustments to the construction method and it is a matter of trying things out. The result in the cup is therefore determined by the amount of coffee. Together with the degree of grinding and the extraction time.

Good luck!
