Notes
- Espresso Coffee is strong and intense so this measure will be great. If you want to tone it down then reduce coffee powder a bit.
- Use ground coffee powder preferably.
- Instant coffee powder can be used for sugar froth. You can even use brewed coffee instead of coffee powder for making the sugar froth.
- Using sugar or skipping it is your preference. But authentically espresso coffee needs no sugar.
- Thick or thin brew is purely your choice but espresso is usually intense and strong.
- While brewing coffee in moka pot mix it well using a spoon to make it even.
- Use shot glasses to serve espresso as it is usually served in shots.
