How to Brew Espresso at Home

• Dose: 18g

• Yield: 36g

• Time: 25–30 sec

• Ratio: 1:2

This is our daily baseline.

What you’ll need

• Espresso machine

• Espresso bean Grinder
  

• 90BREW - Obata

• Scale (recommended)

How we brew it

1. Grind fine (table-salt texture)
   reference: on our Breville Barista Express Espresso machine we start with grind size 5 and adjust grind size if needed.

2. Dose 18g, tamp level

3. Pull to 36g and aim between 25–30 sec

4. Taste, adjust grind if needed

Get Dialed 

• Too sour? Grind finer

• Too bitter? Grind coarser

• Too fast? Finer grind (e.g. 36g in 20sec)

• Too slow? Coarser grind (e.g. 36g in 40sec)

Why this works

A 1:2 ratio highlights sweetness and body while keeping bitterness low.
