Mom's first cup of coffee.

Italians say that a mother's taste will determine her child's future career direction, such as the Italian writer Eco. Eco's mother did not go to school, but she was very talented in writing. Eco admitted that his writing taste and initial writing style came from his mother. Echo is proud of the "deep love between mother and son" also happened to Akang in the Cafe Clark store.

Before becoming a barista, A Kang studied in the United States and worked in the summer to earn money to invite his mother to travel to the United States. In the corner of the airport, my mother smelled the aroma of coffee, so A Kang bought a small cup for her, and then each took a sip. They were drinking Espresso at that time.

How to make a qualified Espresso

Espresso, known as "espresso", is a kind of espresso extracted by high pressure and hot water. Han Liang said: "Espresso is the soul of espresso." When Italians want to drink Espresso, they will say "have a cup of coffee", because in Italian mind, coffee is Espresso.

Since the birth of Espresso, the Italian love for it has never stopped. In Italy, there is even an Italian National Institute of espresso (Istituto Nazionale Espresso Italiano) to define what standard Espresso can be called "Italian Espresso".

In his book Travel with Salmon, Eco specifically mentions that Espresso is one of the best coffees and uses hell-branded coffee pots to satirize hotels or restaurants that don't make coffee properly. "Coffee that can be directly smelled comes down the river from a narrow spout," Eco said. " The espresso machine used to extract Espresso is one of them.

A qualified Espresso requires nine atmospheric pressures of an espresso machine and a water temperature of 92 degrees, and then extract 1 ounce (about 30ml) in 25-30 seconds. Han Liang said: "this extraction of coffee, oil will become very rich, aromatic alcohol substances will also explosively grow."

In Italian hearts, there are two things most cherished, one is coffee, the other is maternal love. Fortunately, Akang has both. After A Kang became a barista, he had to make many cups of Espresso every day. But in Ah Kang's heart, the cup he shared with his mother at the airport during that cash-strapped summer vacation was the best taste in his memory.
