Italian espresso

History.

The birth of espresso has gone through a long process. In the past few hundred years, people have conducted in-depth and comprehensive research on the processing and extraction methods of coffee. After repeated improvement experiments, the Italian espresso was finally developed. Therefore, Italians call its birth "the crystallization of science and art". The great Naples playwright Edouard de Filippo wrote in his memoirs: "when I was a child, it was the business of adults to stir-fry coffee. After they pour the coffee beans into the barrel, they turn the barrel and keep stir-frying until the coffee beans turn dark brown. The strong smell of coffee floated into my room through the window and woke me up from my sleep. So I knew the intoxicating taste of coffee long before I got my parents' permission. "

Italian coffee culture has developed for hundreds of years, and in this process, Italians have accumulated a lot of experience and perfect craftsmanship. They strictly check the quality and roasting degree of coffee beans. Roasting coffee is the most difficult step in the process of making coffee, and it is also the core link to improve the quality of coffee. The selection of high-quality fresh raw beans in the right roasting heat is a very necessary basic link in the production of Italian espresso. In order to produce high-quality Italian espresso, responsible Italian coffee wholesalers first buy raw beans from various coffee producing areas around the world, and then conduct secondary screening with a selection machine in the coffee factory. Experts agree that only by strictly checking the quality of coffee beans can we produce excellent Italian espresso.

However, although most coffee drinks are based on espresso, not all Italians like espresso. Some other types of coffee are also popular with Italians. Examples include lattes with milk added to espresso, Macchiato with rich milk foam, "Romano" coffee with a curly lemon peel and espresso with pure cream.
