How to Make Doppio Espresso

Discover the art of crafting a doppio, a quintessential Italian coffee experience that amplifies the flavors of a single espresso into a luscious, robust double shot. Perfect for those who appreciate the deeper aroma and richer crema that a well-prepared espresso can offer.

Ingredients

☕️ 17 grams of coffee grounds (dark roast)

Instructions

1- Grind the Coffee:

• Place the double shot portafilter under the Mazzer coffee grinder.
• Grind approximately 17 grams of coffee beans directly into the portafilter.

2- Distribute and Level Grounds:

• Distribute the coffee grounds evenly in the portafilter basket.
• Use the WDT tool for optimal consistency.

3- Tamp the Grounds:

• Place the portafilter on the tamping mat.
• Use the tamper to press the grounds firmly, creating a compact and level puck.

4- Prepare the Espresso Machine:

• Purge the espresso machine's group head by briefly running hot water through it for temperature consistency.

5- Secure the Portafilter:

• Secure the prepared portafilter into the group head of the Astoria espresso machine.

6- Position Serving Glass:

• Position a small clear double-walled glass under the portafilter spouts.

7- Extract the Doppio:
