  1. Buy espresso grounds (or beans to grind yourself) - I usually either buy Café Bustelo or Café Pilon

  3. Fill up your tamper and lightly tamp grounds with spoon

  4. Add about a cup and a half of water

  5. Brew

  6. Add 2 TABLESPOONS OF SUGAR TO A MUG

  7. Very carefully, add about 10 drops of espresso to the sugar

  8. Get a spoon and begin to mix the espresso with the sugar (like a mad man) (do this for at least 1 whole minute)

  9. Once you have a tan paste

  10. Continue slowly adding in more espresso whilst stirring with spoon until it's all in the mug.
