How to do it:

1. Grind the coffee finer than for a regular espresso. We recommend that you use a coffee grinder.
2. Use about 8-10 grams of coffee. This yields approximately 20 ml of coffee.
3. Brew the ristretto in the same way as a regular espresso, but stop the brewing time after just about 18-20 seconds. This results in a stronger and more intense taste.
