About Espresso
What is espresso? This Chinese name is often misunderstood by many people. Perhaps the original text "Espresso" can be used to explain it more clearly. Literally, Espresso is Italian, equivalent to Express in English, meaning fast, click-and-do. Formally, Espresso is coffee made through an Italian coffee machine. Coffee beans after the correct thickness of grinding and the right amount of powder use, through the narrow band of "temperature" and "pressure" two kinds of energy water, through the pressed powder extracted coffee.

The most fascinating thing about the Espresso is the golden foam on the surface. The shape of the Crema has almost become the standard for the Italian coffee industry to judge whether a cup of Espresso meets the perfect extraction. (you might ask, why haven't I seen Crema in a coffee chain? Because... You know, the editor knows, but the editor doesn't say.

Crema is a phenomenon that the oil of coffee itself is "emulsified" at temperature and air pressure. The freshness of coffee beans can also be judged by the amount and color of Crema.

Espresso

Refers to a single espresso Espresso Solo. "Solo" is Italian, equivalent to the English meaning of "single", indicating the weight of Espresso. In addition, in Italy, "Espresso" is generally referred to as "Caffe". A good Espresso should strike a perfect balance between sour, bitter and sweet (recommended by the editor in private, go to cama Coffee and have an Espresso experience). You can drink it in three mouthfuls, or drink it in one go.

Latte / Italian (Caffe Lette Italian style)
If you order Caff'e Lette in an Italian cafe, you may find that there are surprisingly few milk bubbles in the cup. Some cafes have Caff'e Lette and even have almost no milk foam. The charm of Italian Caff'e Lette is that Espresso and milk are completely integrated, while the natural sweetness of milk is still clearly discernible.
Latte / Seattle style (Lette Art in a Seattle style)
In the United States, coffee chains with Seattle as their birthplace, such as Starbucks, order Caff'e Lette far more than Espresso. This is very different from the situation in Italian cafes. The characteristic of the Caff'e Lette in Seattle-style chains is to pour foam-laden steam foam into the stronger Espresso, which is filled with so much foam that it touches the upper lip when drinking. The average Italian Caff'e Lette is 8 ounces, while the Seattle style is generally 12 ounces.

Wet (Cappuccino or Wet Cappuccino)
The coffee is made by injecting steam foam into the Espresso. It is called Cappuccino in Italy, but in Seattle-style cafes, to distinguish it from Dry Cappuccino, it is sometimes called Wet Capuccino. The delicacy of Cappuccino depends on the texture of steam bubbles. The ideal steam foam is extremely soft, smooth, thick and thick. Remember to shake the bubble pot before pouring the steam into the foam to mix the foam and milk well.

Dry (Dry Cappuccino)
This is a kind of Cappuccino that is mixed and scooped up while drinking. When making, pour the hot milk into the Espresso, and then fill the surface of the coffee with extremely soft foam. Finally, sprinkle with cinnamon as much as you like.
