Your Guide to Perfect Home Espresso

Making perfect espresso and all its variations is an art. That mouthwatering short black or creamy cafe latte needs consideration for the espresso machine and the freshness of the ground coffee is required. But when it takes a while to discover the better points, we can help you with the basics of making a fantastic espresso coffee at home.

Let’s take a look at some easy steps for the perfect home espresso.

Choose your favorite coffee blend

You can either go with pre-ground coffee or grind your own just before you want to make your espresso. If you are opting for pre-ground, you need to make sure it is a freshly opened espresso blend. If you choose to smooth your own, make sure it is finely ground. Likewise, make sure your espresso equipment is clean and hot.

Set coffee grounds into the filter basket

Put coffee grounds into the filter basket using a scoop or preferably a coffee spoon. Also, you must put the right quantity of coffee in the basket to get a fine, strong espresso.

Level the coffee in the basket and compress the grounds

This will restrict the flow of the water through the coffee so that it can gather all the flavors and aromas from the grounds. Study your machine instruction manual as to how tough or smooth you should tamp. Make sure the rim of the coffee filter holder is clean before putting it into the machine. Start the water to wash out any grounds from the inside of the machine.

Insert the filter holder into the machine

Instantly put warm cups underneath and begin the flow of water via the coffee. The pulled coffee must be poured in a slow, fine stream.

Boiling your milk

Put fresh, cold milk in a small stainless steel jar and fill between a third and one half of the jar. Start the steam so that your espresso machine rises in temperature to make steam. When the ready light is turned on in your machine, you need to turn the steam on and off to remove any water.

Put the tip of the spout just under the milk and set it near the middle of the jar. Turn on the steam to complete power. You should notice and listen to air being pulled into the milk, making a whirlpool result, making it bubbly. When the milk gets 65°C, turn off the steam and wipe the steam baton uncluttered.

Pour the steamed milk into the prepared espresso drink of your choice. Get in touch with us for the different espresso coffee drinks.
