The espresso grind should be fine and the water temperature should be around 195\u00b0F to 205\u00b0F (90\u00b0C to 96\u00b0C). A typical espresso shot is brewed using about 18-20 grams of coffee grounds for a double shot. It is also important to ensure a proper extraction time of around 25-30 seconds for a well-balanced espresso. Additionally, tamping the coffee grounds evenly and with the right amount of pressure is crucial for a good extraction.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div> <\/div>  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discovering the ideal espresso blend coffee beans is essential for a delicious espresso.
