In Italian, espresso espresso means "make it for you quickly". The barista takes a minute to make a cup of espresso, and when the guest gets the coffee, he drinks it in three sips. The speed of making and drinking is very fast, so people are used to drinking coffee standing up and leaving immediately after drinking. If you want to sit down and enjoy it, you may have to pay more for the service.

Of course, if you order a cup of espresso in a domestic cafe, you can sit down and taste it, but you are also advised to drink it in a couple of bites.

Why should the espresso be finished as soon as possible?

The most addictive thing about drinking espresso is not only its strong taste and taste, which can wake people up instantly, but also the smooth and delicate fat Crema on the coffee table.

But the grease here is not simple grease, most of it is foam formed by carbon dioxide. When espresso falls into the cup, carbon dioxide returns to the air, so the foam dissipates quickly, which is why espresso should be finished as soon as possible.

How to extract oil-rich espresso?

Only freshly roasted, freshly ground medium-deep roasted coffee beans can be extracted from attractive golden oil. Because the oil is in a sealed pressurized environment, coffee bean oil and carbon dioxide blend with each other and squeezed out by water to form a delicate and smooth taste of oil foam.

The longer the coffee beans are roasted, the more carbon dioxide will be produced and stored in the coffee beans, which will also make the coffee form more mellow substances. Espresso extracted by pressurization, if you use shallow roasted coffee beans, its own acidity will show a sharp taste because of the higher concentration, but also because of the lack of mellow substances, the taste will become thin.

At the same time, the most important thing for espresso is that the quality and flavor of espresso can be stable for a long time, so Qianjie Coffee suggests extracting espresso and choosing comprehensive coffee beans specially made for Italian espresso.

Coffee beans from a single product (single producing area), as a concentrate, are affected by climate and soil every year, as well as the passage of time after baking, the flavor performance is not stable. The blending of coffee beans is to balance the flavor of coffee by understanding the characteristics of coffee beans in different producing areas and according to the advantages and disadvantages of coffee flavor in different producing areas.
