Homemade Espresso Without Machine Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Ground Coffee Beans
- ⅓ cup Hot Water
Instructions
Grind & Measure Coffee:
- Grind your coffee beans to medium fine. Measure out 3 tbsp into a small cup.
Boil Water:
- Bring the water to a boil and make sure to let it sit for about 20 seconds before using. Pour a splash of hot water into your grounds and let them sit for about 20 seconds.
- Pour a bit of hot water into your measuring cup and swirl it around to prewarm the cup. Pour it out then measure out ½ cup hot water.
- Slowly pour the ½ cup hot water over the coffee grounds. I like to swirl my cup in a slow circular motion while I pour the hot water in to make sure everything gets soaked.
- Steep for 1 minute and then stir the coffee at least 10 times so that the grounds mix in and you introduce some pressure. Let it steep for two-three more minutes*
Strain:
- Pour through a fine mesh strainer into another pre-warmed cup. Let the coffee sit for 30-60 seconds to let the sludge settle.
- Prep to drink by slowly pouring into your drink or cup. Being careful not to pour the bottom bit of sludge into your drink.
