    Steps

    1

    Use the same amount of coffee as espresso.

    2

    Extract for only 15–20 seconds.

    3

    You'll get about 15ml of concentrated coffee.

    4

    The result is sweeter and less bitter than espresso.

    Pro Tip

    Ristretto uses less water so it extracts the sweeter compounds first, leaving the bitter ones behind.
