Nothing like a good espresso! This classic brew is loved for its creamy mouthfeel and the subtle flavors and aromas that can be extracted in a cup. ☕️

- Fill the filter holder with the required amount of coffee (eg 18g).
- Pack the ground coffee with a few taps on a flat surface and level it with your index finger.
- Apply light even pressure with a press.
