Many people insist that authentic espresso should be equipped with robusta coffee, and even big Italian brands like Lavazza make no secret of their love of robusta coffee.

This is a blend of beans for large chain commercial cafes. In addition to American beans as the theme, we also put in Yunnan AA in order to achieve richer oil and mellow taste. The Italian concentrated oil is very rich, the taste is smooth and bitter, and the texture is very mellow. Suitable for fancy coffee, flower drawing, with all kinds of syrup accessories can also give a very good taste.

Espresso will be mixed with beans in order to increase the richness and harmony of the taste, but it is not absolutely necessary, but espresso is extracted with hot water and pressure. If you drink it directly without stirring, the water-soluble and fat-soluble ingredients will be separated, making it less palatable.

When drinking espresso, most of them come with spoons, sugar and water.

Espresso is extracted with hot water and pressure, so in addition to the water-soluble components that will dissolve in water, some fat-soluble ingredients will also be extracted. The water-soluble ingredients are heavy, so they sink below in the form of coffee liquid, while the fat-soluble ingredients float on top in the form of foam. The ingredient of this foam type is crema, which dissolves many ingredients of aroma, consistency and texture. The water-soluble ingredients sunk below are mainly substances that make the tongue feel the taste. In short, crema is responsible for the aroma part, and the extract is responsible for the flavor part.

If you drink directly without stirring, the water-soluble and fat-soluble ingredients will be separated. Stir or shake the ingredients of espresso before drinking, so that you can feel the rich and harmonious flavor and aroma. So espresso must be served with a spoon.
