The steps to brew an excellent cup of espresso
using an espresso machine are:
Place water in the reservoir of the
espresso machine.
Depending on the type of espresso
machine, you either wait for the water within the machine's
heating chamber to heat after turning the machine on or until
the water has boiled.
Place fine coffee grounds in the coffee
holder and pack it down.
With the pump contained on the espresso
machine, the water will be drawn out of the reservoir and pumped
into the heating chamber of the espresso coffeemaker at a high
pressure.
Through this action, the hot water is
forced through the coffee grounds and out of the coffee holder
spout of the espresso machine into your cup.
