Parts of Espresso

Espresso

The literal meaning of the word "Espresso" is "made on the spur of the moment". In Italy, it is chiefly used to describe coffee. When you ask for the "espresso" in a bar or restaurant, it always meant coffee. It is the fresh extract of coffee. Espresso should be served withing 20 seconds after it has poured.


Three Parts of an Espresso

  1. Crema (Emulsion)- Produced when the oil gets emulsified by the pressure of the Espresso Machine.
  2. Body (Suspension)- Particles and gas bubbles that are suspended in an espresso, helps inhibit the bitter flavor of the coffee.
  3. Heart (Solution)- Water soluble elements.
