 How to grind espresso beans

Espresso is a specialty coffee drink, different from filter coffee because of the way it is prepared. Espresso is made using a special machine that uses stronger pressure, faster brewing time, and lower temperature than drip coffee. coffee beans are roasted arabica coffee beans that must be ground just before serving. Waiting to grind your beans will help preserve the flavor and freshness of the beans, not only for the perfect cup of espresso, but the perfect drip coffee pot as well.

Instructions
1 Measure the amount of grain required for espresso coffee drink. The perfect cup of espresso requires 55 coffee beans, according to Martha Stewart. While counting your beans may not be your cup of tea, use this as an estimate so that you don't lose any of the precious harvest.

2 Time the beans to grind for approximately two minutes before you want to create the perfect cup of coffee. After grinding the beans, exposure to the air will start to stale the taste of the coffee almost immediately.

3 Place your measured beans in your coffee grinder. Begin grinding, and check periodically to see how finely ground the espresso beans have become. Espresso is a fine grind, but it should still hold up under the force of your espresso machine or homebrewer.

4 Stop friction when the coffee has reached the consistency of fine sand. Remove large chunks, if necessary, by hand and do not proceed to grind all the coffee once the perfect grind level has been reached. Make coffee immediately.
