Espresso Coffee extraction detailed steps Italian concentration common sense

For Italians, espresso is not only a drink, but also a kind of life. Like spaghetti, espresso has long been the most inseparable way of life. The Italian coffee maker has an absolutely respectable status, and it takes each chef several years to get this coveted title, so every cup of espresso made from the chef is absolutely worthy of your respect and taste.

Espresso is mainly brewed from espresso machines, mochas and other espresso brewers, and the basic coffee brewed is generally called ESPRESSO espresso in Chinese.

Espresso (Espresso)

The name Espresso actually comes from Italian. Espresso means "fast" in Italian.

Espresso is defined as taking 7g of coffee powder, using 92 to 95 degrees water, applying 9--10bar (atmospheric pressure), and extracting an ounce (28ml) of coffee in about 28 seconds. So generally speaking, Espresso is very strong, and ESPRESSO is usually the base coffee of all espresso, such as latte, cappuccino, caramel macchiato, etc., which are produced by adding different items.

Espresso coffee must be made with a special machine to allow water to flow quickly through the coffee powder at high pressure, which can extract the most essential parts of the coffee (Crema). A classic Espresso will have a tiger-spotted ochre red Crema. In comparison, all the other methods of brewing coffee are too plain, except bitter, other delicacies are difficult to come out. But on the other hand, if not handled properly, it will be the worst coffee in the world.

This high-pressure practice will emphasize the characteristics of beans, so sour beans are super sour and bitter, so we often have to mix different beans. Each coffee shop usually has a special recipe for Espresso, but the recipe is different and the baking depth is different. Choose what you like better.

Latte (latte)

Latte is one of many Italian types of fresh milk coffee, because latte means fresh milk in Italian. In the English world, it generally refers to coffee brewed with hot fresh milk. If you have a chance to visit Italy, if you tell the coffee shop clerk to have a Latte, you will definitely bring a cup of hot milk, not the latte you want.

It was not until the 1980s that the term latte was used outside Italy. A typical latte consists of 1/3 espresso Espresso and 2/3 steamed milk, usually without foam. It has more fresh milk flavor than cappuccino Cappuccino. But in fact, in the composition of latte, coffee is still less than twice as much as milk! However, compared with the French favorite "coffee O'Lei", the latte still has less milk.

Cappuccino (Cappuccino)

Cappuccino (Italian: Cappuccino) means Italian foam coffee, which is made by hugging black espresso Espresso with white milk and foam. In the early 20th century, the Italians developed cappuccino coffee. On the espresso, pour in the milk foamed with steam. The color of the coffee is like a St. Franciscan monk covering a dark brown coat with a headscarf, hence the name cappuccino caffeine.

Founded after 1525, the monks of St. Franciscans wore brown robes and pointed hats. When they spread to Italy, the locals named their clothes "Cappuccino". The Italian word comes from the headscarf (Cappuccio), which refers to loose robes and pointed hats.

Pour the hot milk and bubbles into a cup of Espresso espresso and sprinkle with cocoa or cinnamon as you like.

Caramel macchiato (Caramel Macchiatto)

Although it is not orthodox espresso, it is still a very common (Espresso) espresso drink.

Caramel macchiato (English: Caramel Macchiato) is a kind of drink made by adding espresso, vanilla and pure caramel to hot milk. It features three different flavors in a cup of drink.

"Macchiato" is Italian, meaning "imprint", which is transliterated into "Macchiato" in Chinese. "Caramel" means caramel. Caramel macchiato is the Macchiato with caramel, which stands for "sweet mark".

I believe that caramel macchiato will be sold in every coffee chain store now, and many people should have drunk it, but when you go to buy it, you don't know if the clerk has taught you how to drink it?

Caramel macchiato should not be stirred first, but should be drank slowly, first covered with caramel sauce as sweet as caramel sugar, then sweet milk mixed with vanilla syrup, and finally rich espresso.

Caramel macchiato has less milk than cappuccino and is suitable for people who like heavy coffee.
