The short double espresso is part of all espresso-based beverages. It is made of water and coffee with a strong taste and is very easy to make.
Espresso is a coffee extraction. This means that very hot pressurized water passes through the coffee to extract the oils. This makes a very concentrated and dense drink, with a lower caffeine content. In addition, espresso is divided into two parts: the liquid and the crema. It is the base of the majority of the beverages on the menus in coffee shops.
Finely grind 14 to 18 g of coffee, and place in a double portafilter.
Press the coffee into the portafilter.
Once the portafilter is inserted into the brew group, start extracting. Stop once there is around 2 oz. of liquid.
Enjoy. Some people add milk, cream, or sugar to their espresso.
The short double espresso is the base for the majority of espresso-based drinks, such as macchiatos, lattes, cappuccinos, cortados, flat whites, etc.
One of the questions that coffee experts probably hear the most is:“What’s the difference between Arabica and Robusta?” The two types of coffee plants are at opposite ends of the spectrum, and by blending the two together, we can achieve the best of both worlds.
