My espresso recipes cheatsheet

Here's a list of my simple espresso recipes. Usually, I kept looking espresso recipes up on Google or watched various Youtube videos. As the number of bookmarks grow and I was just looking for basic information, I put together the following notes of espresso recipes.

I'm definitely not a coffee expert, but rather a home barista hobbyist. If you're into coffee, go ahead and follow James Hoffmann's Youtube channel.
