How To Brew Espresso Flawlessly

This is something that is on every budding baristas mind, so I'm here to tell you the best and easiest way to ensure that you are putting out a quality espresso shot every time. Let us begin.

• First, use distilled water because tap water will affect the taste and caused lime scale in your machine.
• Second, use a high quality machine and grind your beans fresh at a fine setting before brewing. (Note: many high quality espresso machines have built in grinders, which will save you money.)
• Third, brew your espresso within 5 to 10 seconds, and if it is too fast or too slow, then you need to check your grind consistency.
• Lastly, focused on creating a thick and velvety crema of a caramel color atop your shot to show the quality of the brew. This will be responsible for the amazing flavor that you will taste.

These are just some quick and easy espresso brewing tips, and always make sure to drink your espresso right away so that the flavors are at their best. Keep practicing, and you will be on your way to pro barista standards in no time!
