Ristretto Shot
You can make ristretto shots in 3 ways - using a manual or semi-automatic coffee machine or a fully automatic ristretto machine.
Equipment
- Espresso machine
- Burr Grinder
- Coffee scale
Materials
- Water
- 7-10 grams Ground coffee beans
Instructions
- Fill the reservoir with cold, filtered water.
- Turn on the espresso machine and wait for it to warm up.
- Preheat your demitasse or espresso cup with a hot water rinse.
- Put 10 or 20 grams of finely ground coffee into the portafilter.
- Tamp the coffee grounds as you usually would.
- Attach the portafilter to the coffee machine.
- Pull the shot. Weigh the amount of coffee extracted using the scale. Aim to get 15 to 20 grams.
Notes
💡Pro Tip: Instead of using a scale, you can stop pulling the shot at 15 seconds to get ristretto shots.
