Tips on Making Good Espresso

One of the key factors for making good espresso is making sure you first have the right machine. A good espresso machine for your home should have at least 15 pumps of pressure and heats the water to a perfect temperature (does not boil water, which will destroy good coffee).

If you have the right machine, the process of making a good espresso or americano is simple. Grind freshly roasted beans right before you make your cup (fresh up to 2 weeks). The final step is to time the brewing process for 15 seconds. If you turn off the espresso filter valve after 15 seconds, those first 15 seconds of espresso in your cup will be perfect, not bitter.
