1 serving
- 18–20 g finely ground espresso coffee
- 4 oz whole milk
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness.
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your espresso machine and flush the group head with a brief burst of hot water. Warm the 5–6 oz ceramic cup by filling it with hot water, then discard the water just before pulling the shot.

Dose 18–20 g of finely ground coffee into the portafilter, distribute evenly, and tamp with firm, level pressure. Pull a double ristretto: target a yield of about 1–1.5 oz (30–45 ml) in 25–30 seconds. The shot should run a deep amber-brown with a thin, persistent crema.
