How to make an espresso
Step
1
Fill the
Boiler
with
cold water up to the
fill line on the inside.
Step
2
Screw the
Group
head
to the
Boiler
.
note
You can speed things up quite
a bit by putting your 9Barista
on the stove to heat up while
you grind and tamp the coffee.
Be careful though, you’ll need
to get the
Portafilter
back on
before the machine starts to
deliver hot water. Only attempt
this once you know you’ll be
fast enough.
Step
3
Flip the
Portafilter
upside
down and put 20g of freshly
ground coffee into the
Basket
. Tamp down the
coffee firmly, making sure
the ground coffee is nicely
levelled. Then place the
Basket cap
firmly back into
the
Basket.
note
Getting the fineness of the
grind right is one of the
most important things when
making espresso. It makes a
big difference to the flavour.
A good way of getting this
right is to measure how long
it takes for the coffee to
come through; it should take
approximately 30 secs. You
might need a few attempts to
get it just right.
120ml water
20g coffee
