Grind your coffee

Tip: For best results, wipe the portafilter basket dry with a clean cloth before grinding.
Weigh your input
Weigh the input (or dry grounds) that are in your portafilter basket.The amount of grounds that you are aiming for will ultimately depend on the size of your basket - see your home espresso machine manual for more information.

Evenly tamp your espresso grounds.
Brew
Insert the portafilter into the espresso machine and start brewing!
Weigh your output
Weighing or measuring the volume of your output (amount of brewed espresso) will help you better understand your brew ratio.
