How Many Grams of Coffee are Needed for Espresso?

Do you know how many grams of coffee are used to make a short espresso? If not, then you have come to the right advice. Espresso originates from Italy, but is popular all over the world.

Short espresso

The amount of coffee for making short espresso is 6 to 10 grams of ground coffee beans. This amount of coffee is so concentrated, that it serves as an express energy source for people who are just waking up from sleep.

One dose of short espresso is equivalent to 30 grams of a ready-made coffee drink in a small cup. This means, as mentioned above, that the amount of ground coffee needed to make it is about 6 to 10 grams.

The time to make a short espresso is usually between 15-25 seconds per dose. However, the ideal amount of coffee for one dose is 7 grams. The preparation time is approximately 20 seconds to obtain a dose of 1 ounce (about 30 g).

Double espresso

Double espresso has a volume of 30 to 60 grams of the coffee drink in a cup. The amount of ground coffee for a double dose of espresso varies from 12 to 20 grams. The volume of the double espresso can be increased depending on the added grams of coffee.

The time to make a double espresso is approximately 25 to 33 seconds. The ideal time to make a double espresso is 30 seconds.
