How to Make a Perfect Espresso Shot

Espresso is made by forcing hot water through finely ground coffee under pressure. Making consistently good espresso shots requeires a few things. Here I, the ChattyBarista, will show you the basics.

Tommorow I'm starting a job as a barista. Going over all your videos.
Thank you!

Good luck Yaniv. I'm sure you'll do great. Not sure if the dad jokes videos helped you much.

How long did it take you to get the hang of it? What’s the most ordered coffee?

[@gurkamalkaur3207]

My mouth is watering, just seeing your espresso

I just learned that 2:1 ratio or 25 seconds is a good number. I think I’ve been short changing myself.

Do you start timing when you pull the handle or at first “drop”?

[@AggroFish]

@@johnmurphy2642 Good question John. It's from when I pull the handle, as it takes a few seconds for the pressurized water to get through the compressed coffee.

What does the ratio of 3 to 1 mean in terms of what you used it for?

[@AggroFish]

Thank you for asking, I mean 20 grams of ground coffee makes 60ml (approx 60g) of espresso

[@Ketojan]

​@@AggroFish I got it now after a while. Thanks 👍

[@szabinasteffens4820]

I'm wondering what bar pressure is ideal for an espresso? I con conflicting info on the internet

[@smeggybustard810]

9-12bars

[@FVDCVH]

So can I get a good shot with a more affordable espresso machine I just use for myself

[@AggroFish]

Hi there, thanks for watching and commenting. Yes you can get a good shot with a more affordable machine, as long as you use quality beans, freshly ground, not too coarsely or finely ground and tamped with correct pressure
