1. Soak the cup in hot water (warm the cup), let it rise in temperature, then pour out the excess water. A simpler method is to place the coffee cup in the heat placement area of ​​the espresso machine, and the temperature of the cup will reach the required level when extracting and concentrating.

Then, press the tamping machine against the extraction port of the espresso machine to extract ESPRESSO. When extracting, make sure to keep the extraction port as close to the wall of the mug as possible, so that the oil of ESPRESSO can be formed more completely. The extraction time is generally 20 to 25 seconds depending on the actual tamping situation. The amount of extraction is 30ml.
