Advent Calendar – Day 2

Sometimes it must be Espresso!

The second bag of my advent calendar is a blend.

 The Coffee

Inland Empire – Perfect Espresso

• 50% Brazil: Ondas de Mantiqueira
  Yellow Catuai, “natural”
• 50% Ethiopia
  Yirgacheffe Kochere – washed

My Bialetti is waiting for preparation

☕ Espresso

• Preheat the water and fill in the water tank until just below the valve
• Grind coffee a little coarser than for an espresso machine, but finer than for the French Press.
• Fill the metallic filter completely with coffee and press lightly with your fingers (do not tamp it!)
• Screw the espresso maker together and place it on the stove over medium heat.
• Once the first coffee comes up, remove from heat – the rest of the heat brings the rest up.
• Stop extraction by holding the lower part of the pot under cold water.
• Preheat the cup, pour in coffee and enjoy.

I am looking forward to No. 3!
