Is the more Crema, the better?

The thickness and maintenance time of Crema have a lot to do with the freshness of coffee. The richer the Crema is, the fresher the coffee may be; the more gas the beans produce during roasting, the more crema will appear. Take the coffee not long after roasting to extract, you can find that there will be a lot of crema, but unfortunately, it will also disappear in a faster time. When you taste this coffee, your tongue will feel the same way as when you drink carbonated water. Because the gas produced during baking dissolves in water, it will be bitter or astringent.

From this, it can be seen that even if it is fresh coffee, it cannot be said that it is all good coffee, and it still needs to be properly managed.

The ripening time of coffee beans varies depending on the baking method. Put the coffee in a state of isolation from light and oxygen, at least for 4 days to more than 2 weeks, so that the gas produced during the internal baking of the coffee beans can be discharged naturally. With this kind of coffee, you can make a beautiful crema coffee.

In the stable state after extraction, the time is the best when crema does not exceed 3--5mm.

Does Italian espresso have to be mixed with beans?

Italian concentration is just one of the methods of coffee extraction. No matter what kind of coffee is used, as long as it is made with an espresso machine, it can be called espresso. As long as it has a good taste, whether it's single coffee or mixed bean coffee, light-roasted coffee or deep-roasted coffee. There is no rule on what kind of coffee must be used.

The machine for extracting espresso has the best extraction conditions, so the best extraction can be made no matter what kind of coffee is used. But the so-called "good extraction" will not only extract the maximum value of the good ingredients in the coffee; similarly, the bad taste will also be extracted the maximum value, which must be noted. Therefore, it is necessary to use good coffee with no defects in the material. If the coffee bean has its own shortcomings, as mentioned earlier. Shortcomings are also extracted in large quantities and magnified to unbearable levels.

All kinds of coffee have advantages, but they also have disadvantages, so compared with making espresso from single coffee, for the sake of richness and blending, various kinds of coffee are often mixed to make special coffee to use.
