What on earth is the Espresso of boutique coffee?

[1] what on earth is Espresso.

Espresso is called "espresso" in Chinese, but basically it has nothing to do with the original text. To put it simply, espresso coffee must be made with a special machine, allowing water to flow quickly through the coffee powder at high pressure. This method can extract the essence of coffee! When you fight hard, all the other styles of coffee are mediocre, and it is difficult to get out of other pleasures except bitterness. However, on the other hand, if not handled properly, espresso will be the worst coffee in the world. Unfortunately, most coffee shops make it awful. So many people spread and preached: "I hate espresso most!" But he might be here? No one has ever drunk a real espresso!

Starbucks, the largest coffee chain in the United States, contributed to the promotion of espresso. But unfortunately, Starbucks is also the representative of the bad espresso. So why is Starbucks received, and there is evidence from time to time that Starbucks is his favorite coffee shop? The reason is that espresso can add milk, the smoothness and sweetness of milk help disguise the bad espresso, while the strong espresso reveals the "coffee taste" that you have never experienced, so you will say that it is really delicious.

Espresso, Coffee, espresso, USA, chain Store

What does espresso do with milk? There is basically a cappuccino (cappuccino), which is an espresso plus a milk and a milk bubble. (this is not necessary. First of all, milk and milk do not have to be dyed when they are beaten very fine; and in fact, espresso does not account for 1/3 of the total in the store.) . And latte (latte) is espresso with more milk than cappuccino, and then there may be bubbles, maybe not. This is an American specialty. It is called latte in Italy. He will give you a glass of milk. If you don't know the standard of this store, you can order latte, don't take risks, but sometimes it will be as light as drinking milk. There is also a person named mocha, which is different from the "mocha coffee" we see in general coffee shops. This is a kind of espresso heated milk, chocolate, manna and whipped cream. If you like chocolate, it's a big catch. Choose.

[2] I want to do espresso at home. What kind of machinery do I want to buy?

Espresso can't be cooked with an ordinary coffee machine, so buy a special machine. Basically, there is a kind of steammachine and a kind of pumpmachine. How can you tell the difference? It's easy, as long as the food has a lid to turn it around to open, it's steammachine! The steam engine can't make a real espresso! So almost all expert cities tell you not to buy it.

The reason why steammachine can not do a good espresso is very simple, its pressure is only about three atmospheric pressure, the real espresso is about 8.2-9 atmospheric pressure! To make matters worse, the steam engine is powered by steam to press the water over the coffee powder. But what is the temperature of the water at this time? Use your knees to think about crossing the boiling point! Water that crosses the boiling point is not suitable for making coffee!

Since steammachine is not Haojie? Choose, then how do we choose to help Puji? Don't worry, a help machine is not cheap. You'd better carefully study the collection for a month to find out the characteristics of each model of arrogance, whether it is suitable for you, and then "start". Welcome the master to the coffee utensils page to post inquiries, or refer to relevant posts.

[3] what are the beans of Espresso?

Basically, if you are happy, any bean can be used to make espresso. However, the high-pressure practice of espresso will emphasize the characteristics of beans, so sour beans are super sour and bitter is even more bitter. Therefore, we often have to mix different beans to make espresso. In every coffee shop, there is usually a recipe for espresso, but each has a different formula and a different baking depth. You have to choose what you like.

[4] do I need a bean grinder?

Yes, very much! To make a good espresso, you need to grind the beans just right and let the extract serve the old millet in 25 seconds. And what you grind in the store, first, the coffee goes bad faster. Second, it may (almost certainly) not suit you. You may even find that you have to adjust the thickness of the same beans differently at different times. Bean grinder there is a kind of bean grinder called propeller can not be bought! That one looks like a cylinder, and the man has a transparent lid to get two blades that look like propellers (such as Pegasus).

First, this kind of bean grinder does not adjust the thickness of control, only depends on the length of time, no, depends on fate. Second, the thickness of this bean grinder is not uniform, some are too fine, some are too thick. Third, this kind of machine can not grind out the fineness required by espresso. Fourth, this kind of grinding opportunity has a high fever, which is very dangerous to the taste of coffee! (depending on different models)

So what is a good bean grinder? General giants like, the most basic, is the solis 167or 167, can be regarded as economic benefits. But, of course, it's best to buy one of this level like RancilioRocky!
