Espresso Tips

A perfect espresso is the heart of every great coffee drink. At Sheba Coffee Shop, we take pride in crafting rich, balanced espresso—and today, we’re sharing our expert tips with you.

1. Use Fresh Coffee Beans

Freshness is key. Always use recently roasted coffee beans to get the best flavor and aroma.

2. Get the Right Grind Size

Espresso requires a fine grind. Too coarse, and your coffee will be weak. Too fine, and it may taste bitter.

3. Perfect Your Water Temperature

The ideal temperature for espresso is between 90–96°C. This ensures proper extraction without burning the coffee.

4. Timing Matters

A good espresso shot should take about 25–30 seconds to extract. This balance creates a rich and smooth taste.

5. Practice Consistency

Consistency in measurement, pressure, and timing is what separates a good espresso from a great one.
