# Ristretto

An ristretto is a strong black coffee with no dairy products involved. It can be made with a ratio of water to coffee in quantities of 1:1 and 1:1.5  
  
For our coffee at Lake Safari Lodge, we use a 1:1.5 ratio, so 20g of coffee = 30mls of ristretto.

##### To make a ristretto on espresso machine:

Measure 20g of beans  
Grind beans  
Put ground beans in portafilter  
Put portafilter into coffee machine  
pull a 30 ml shot within 30 seconds  
  
Temp: 93°C  
Pressure: 9 bar
