Single espresso

Single espresso is the basic style of kung fu coffee, the weight is quite small, is the most popular coffee in Europe, if you go to a cafe or restaurant to order only coffee, the waiter will definitely bring a cup of such kung fu coffee directly. They like to use a small glass similar to Shooter, and most of them drink it dry in one or two gulps, rarely slowly tasting it, as opposed to chewing slowly in Chinese kung fu tea. Espresso frees people from the mystery of single-origin coffee and the complexity of coffee beans, usually using deep-roasted blended coffee beans. Once the formula is approved and confirmed, it will not change for decades, and the taste is quite stable.

Good kung fu coffee is difficult to make at home, and requires the more professional the coffee machine. The pressure of the machine is not large enough, the water circulation system is not smooth enough, and the equipped handle and even the powder press are not smooth enough, which will affect the quality of a cup of Espresso.

The time should not exceed 30 seconds, the temperature should not exceed 90 degrees Celsius, the force of manual powder pressing should at least exceed 20 kilograms, the coffee grease should be 3 mm thick, the requirements are extremely accurate, and it is absolutely necessary to be true.
