The meaning of espresso

Caffe Espresso (Italian espresso) is a cup of coffee that is specially and quickly made for you.

The production of espresso is a delicate technique, which is widely misunderstood outside Italy, and the Italians do not explain it. The correct use of espresso machines and grinders represents four centuries of mankind's top achievement in exploring the extraction of aroma components from roasted coffee.

One of the reasons for the lack of standards for espresso production is that the technology is too new. The complexity of coffee is comparable to that of alcohol, but the tradition and practice of alcohol has a history of thousands of years.

By contrast, the espresso tradition is like a gourmet baby. In the early design, the Italian coffee maker used steam to generate pressure. The direct use of steam pressure means that the water temperature of the coffee is too high, which destroys most of the aromatic oil in the coffee, and occasionally the coffee machine explodes. Espresso really appeared on the world stage in 1947, when the Italian company Gaggia used spring pistons to produce hot water with pressure to make coffee.

The production of espresso is at the peak of all coffee-making methods, which can maximize the aroma of coffee, leaving excess acid, caffeine, etc., which are done by pressurization. However, outside Italy, there has never been a standard to examine this approach. The whole world knows how to buy these wonderful machines, but they know nothing about their potential. If you do it very carefully, espresso tastes as good as coffee powder smells, maybe even better. The best state is honey-like consistency, combined with unusual aroma and texture. But this pursuit is difficult to master.

As the singer sings, elegant people travel all over the world, looking for their true love, the purest and finest rare things in the world. Well, let's add an item to it. You search the world for a good cup of espresso. Maybe you are old when you find it, maybe this cup of coffee is the last song of your life, but you have been blessed by the god of luck, you are the happiest person in the world.
