unding espresso coffee? When the term espresso gets mentioned it seems to attract attention.
There's nothing really mysterious about this delightful black brew other than it's the coffee version of taking a shot of something a little stronger. Maybe that's what they would do in a wild west saloon bar dedicated wholly and solely to coffee drinkers..."Give me a shot of espresso bartender...no, in fact, leave the pot. I've got some serious drinkin' to do!"
Espresso is the Italian word for "pressed out." The end product is created by way of passing hot water through ground coffee. There is a good degree of pressure involved both in delivering the water and coffee but the extract produced makes even the most avid coffee drinker go wobbly at the knees.
Crema
The word crema may not mean much to most but in espresso coffee it's by far the most important extract. It's basically a reddish foam-like substance which floats atop the coffee and is made up of oils, proteins and sugar – present in the coffee grounds.
The crema along with the caffeine in the natural coffee produces a thick syrupy liquid that is rich, full of heavenly aroma, and great to taste. Normally, it takes a barista about half a minute to pull a shot of espresso coffee. A freshly brewed espresso coffee must not be stored, as it will lose its original taste and flavor.
How To Brew A Good Espresso
One of the fascinating aspects of making an espresso coffee is watching the many versions of how to do it. Truth is, there is really only a few but it's one of those things, like wine tasting, where every one is an expert. Heres a quick guide in brewing an espresso:
- Make sure the roasted beans are no more than 5 days old at tops. Two days is ideal.
- Avoid roasting the beans too dark. If buying roasted beans then make sure they are light enough otherwise they could lose their natural ingredients.
- Grind the beans to create an even texture with a good quality grinder.
- Grinding the beans just before producing a shot of espresso is the ideal scenario.
- Make sure the water used in your espresso machine is filtered.
- Pre-heat your espresso coffee cup. Cups are generally small and thick in nature which is by design because it's said thick cups with narrow openings helps preserve the aroma and taste of the coffee.
