A porta filter is an essential part of an espresso machine. It’s the device that holds the coffee grounds and attaches to the machine for brewing espresso. Here's how it works with ground coffee: 1. Prepare the Porta Filter: Remove the porta filter from the espresso machine and clean it to ensure there’s no leftover coffee residue. 2. Grind the Coffee Beans: Use a coffee grinder to grind your beans to a fine, consistent texture, similar to table salt. Freshly ground coffee produces the best flavor. 3. Fill the Porta Filter: Add the ground coffee into the basket of the porta filter. The amount depends on your machine and the shot size you’re making (e.g., single or double shot). Typically, it's 7-9 grams for a single shot or 14-18 grams for a double shot. 4. Tamp the Coffee Grounds: Use a tamper to evenly compress the grounds in the porta filter. Apply firm, even pressure to ensure proper extraction. 5. Attach and Brew: Lock the porta filter into the espresso machine, then start the brewing process. Hot water will pass through the coffee, extracting the flavors into a rich espresso shot. #coffee #coffeetime #coffeelover #cafe #coffeeshop #coffeeaddict #food #espresso #love #barista #coffeelovers #breakfast #latte #tea #kopi #instagood #foodie #foodporn #coffeeholic #coffeegram #instacoffee #latteart #caf #chocolate #coffeebreak #specialtycoffee #instafood #photography #cappuccino #Hotel #Restaurant #Cafe
