ESPRESSO

Here's our favourite way to make an excellent Espresso.

If you're an Espresso Expert, we'd recommend giving our Forest Blend or Anthem Blend a try!

Collection:

Measure out 18g of Perky Blenders (obviously) finely ground coffee into your portafilter, this will make a double shot producing 36 liquid grams.

Tap the portafilter to level out your grinds.

Hold your tamp as if it were a door knob, placing the portafilter on the edge of a stable surface pressing straight down firmly and evenly.

Remove any loose grounds around the edge to ensure a clean seal when placing it into your machine.

Every machine varies but it usually produces around 9 bars of water pressure with a coffee temperature of 90 degrees.

The extraction time should be between 25-30 seconds. If it’s longer or shorter, you’ll need to adjust your grind size.

Time to taste; if your shot is sour your grind is probably too coarse or if it’s bitter your grind is probably too fine.

And that’s it, you’re done!
Time to sip and bathe in your smug new speciality coffee skills.
