What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Take a Seat at the Table: Espresso Obsession! You can be a master barista in the comfort of your own kitchen. Some essential items make all the difference in the results; a good coffee bean grinder and a reliable espresso machine, for instance. Always use quality ingredients. Begin with a premium blend of whole roasted coffee beans to grind yourself. A very fine ground is necessary in order to brew classic Italian roast espresso beverages. Drink it hot or turn it into an iced coffee version. Grazie!
ESPRESSO OBSESSION
Ingredients:
Fresh roasted espresso beans
Purified water
Whipped cream
Instructions:
After the coffee beans are ground to a consistency of sugar, use 1/4 ounce per shot, an one ounce serving. (If it is too coarse, water will run straight through it leaving the coffee lacking a robust flavor.) Pack the grinds into the espresso handle and press down with a tamper, but not too hard. You’ll know when you see the cream-like foam finish. Make sure the water is not boiling. An espresso machine will keep the temperature at 90C degrees. Perfection. Serve immediately.
I choose a dollop of whipped cream on top making my signature coffee drink an “Espresso Con Panna”.

Wow looks yummy, I can smell it. Only few people’s grind beans for fresh espresso, as it take some extra time. Before I have burr grinder which grind beans in low speed so they are less likely to burn and extract more flavors from coffee beans. Few days back, i bought DeLonghi magnifica , it’s really a nice and easy to use machine. In future if you think to buy a bean to cup machine try that or you can choose from here. Me and My father love to have Espresso Con Panna as dessert, nice way to end the day.
