How to make an espresso? The art of making coffee cuisine.
How to make an espresso. The art form of making coffee
cuisine.
Espresso coffee is a precise art form of coffee making. There
are several factors that must take place to make a quality cup
of Espresso. First the fresh roasting of the coffee bean to
bring out the truly gourmet coffee flavor that you expect. The
grinding is the next procedure that must be done right in order
to give you 20-25 seconds of extraction time. Espresso brewing
requires the ground beans to be very fine in order to reach that
perfect state for brewing. The next important step is the proper
temperature of the filtered water that must be passed through
the coffee at the specific pressure and timing that is critical
to your espresso coffee.
The perfect espresso is created when:
Recipe directions: 1 ½ oz (45 ml) filtered water at the
temperature of 195 oF (90oC) passes through ¼ - 1/3 oz (7-9 g)
finely ground quality Espresso coffee. This water is forced
through the fine coffee grounds by the espresso machine at 900
kilopascals atmospheric pressure (around 132 pounds/60kg per sq
in/2.5cm2), with the water being in direct contact with the
coffee for
approximately 25 seconds.
What should your espresso taste like?
When you are ready to take a drink from your espresso cup, it
should leave a pleasant not bitter aftertaste. The flavor should
linger for about 10 minutes rolling into an almost nutty flavor.
The crown on your cup of Espresso
The topping on the espresso is know as "Crema", which is the
floating dark golden cream free of any white or light brown
patches. That is the crown of the perfect espresso coffee. The
Crema is formed when the emulsified oils from the coffee are
released (because of the high pressure that is put on the ground
coffee beans) and mixed with the oxygen in the air. The
resulting finish is perfect crema that floats on top of the
espresso coffee.
