Discover the Secret to the Perfect Ristretto: A Bold, Balanced Recipe for Espresso Coffee Lovers
An espresso shot that's cut off during extraction, the ristretto uses less water and produces a more intense cup of coffee.
Ingredients
- 18 g Medium-roast coffee beans
- Filtered water
Instructions
- Grind 16-18 grams of coffee beans to your standard espresso grind size.
- Place the coffee grounds in the filter basket.
- Tamp the coffee grounds until you have a headspace of about 2-3 mm between the shower screen and the top of the coffee puck.
- Lock the portafilter in your espresso machine and press the brew button.
- Pull a shot for 15-18 seconds only. This makes a double-shot ristretto.

Notes
Don't be surprised, a ristretto is hardly more than a sip of coffee.
