Ingredients

Scale

½-¾ oz (16-20g) fine-ground espresso coffee
hot water

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Warm up your espresso machine and cup. Brew two 1.5-ounce (50ml) shots of espresso into the preheated cup.
Carefully pour hot water over the espresso. While there's no exact ratio, the typical goal is a 1:4 ratio of espresso to water. I usually fill the cup almost to the top, leaving space for a splash of cream or sugar (use the steam wand to add hot water or boil water separately on the stovetop).
Remove any floating crema with a spoon.
Add milk and sugar as desired.
