Classic Ristretto

Ingredients:

• 18–20 grams of coffee (for a double shot)
• 15–20ml of water (instead of the usual 30–40ml for a regular espresso)

Steps:

1. Grind the Coffee: Use a fine espresso grind (slightly finer than regular espresso).
2. Brew the Ristretto: Pull a shot of espresso with less water. Typically, you’ll use about 15–20ml of water for a ristretto shot.
3. Serve: A Ristretto is served in a smaller espresso cup, often around 1 oz (30ml).
