Let's learn how to Make an espresso!

First, get your scissors

Cut open your bag

First we grind the beans by placing them in this machine -the grinder. always try to grind right before you actually use the grounds, Because Coffee grounds go stale very quickly.

Pour some beans in

Pour at least enough for a single shot That is, a “single espresso”.More is ok too, if you need to.

If there's anything leftIn your bag, seal it and Store it somewhere Protected from Excess heat and moisture.

Cover up the top Of the hopper, that is, The place where you Put the beans.

The coarseness of the grind can Be adjusted by turning this wheel here:Coarser grinds mean that Water flows through More quickly, so if your Water speed is too fast Try making the grind Less coarse.

The higher the number,The more coarse the grind.
Try different coarse Settings until you find One that works with theBeans you're using

Now, turn on the grinder

If you open the top of the smaller chamber, you can watch the grounds emerge.

Here, the grounds are coming out.Their speed is also determined by How coarse they are.

Now, grab a well-cleaned portafilter

...and pull the lever several Times to fill it up with grounds

Fill the portafilter up Over the top

You're going to sweep the Excess off back into here

You can do that with your hand, or with the cover

Wipe the excess grounds off so its smooth

Now press down on the grounds, but not too hard

The pressure you apply will also affect how quickly the water will emerge

See the excess grounds on the lip of the portafilter? Clean them off with your hand

Now you're ready to pull a shot

Turn on the water before You put in the portafilter. 
This cleans and warms up the equipment

Let the water run For a few seconds

Now put the portafilter Into the espresso machine

Slide the portafilter in

Don't be afraid to use a little force to push it into place

Now, grab an espresso cup That's the smaller kind.

Place it under the spout On the portafilter

Now you'll want to turn The espresso machine on

This is the button for a Single shot of espresso, But in fact, the different Buttons only affect how Much water will put Pushed through the grounds

Pay attention to what The stream of liquid Looks like – it should be thin And emege smoothly

At first, the liquid will be Dark brown, but then as The shot nears completion It should turn light Beige. This part of the Espresso is called the crema.

When the machine stops Automatically, you should Have a shot of espresso As you see here!

The thick, light brown crema on top is a sign this shot Was well made

Place the espresso on a Serving plate and serve As soon as possible –Speed is key to flavor!

Finally, you can serve your customer!

But you're not done yet!This dirty portafilter Needs to be cleaned

First, if you give it one firm tap you should be able To knock the used grounds Into the trash

Then, rinse the portafilter With hot water from the machine

You can dump the remaining Waste into the bottom Of the espresso machine

Once everything's clean You're ready to make the Next drink!
