Espresso coffee
Espresso is stronger and much more
aromatic than ordinary coffee. It is drunk out
of small cups, called espresso cups.
During the preparation, hot water is forced
under pressure through the espresso
grounds, which is how the delicious black
liquid with the stimulating effect is
produced.
Apart from its characteristic flavour,
espresso is also known for its typical
creamy head, known as crema. This
requires a very considerable pressure and
the use of genuine, properly-roasted
espresso coffee beans which have been
ground to the correct degree of coarseness.
If you do not purchase ready-ground
espresso coffee grounds, grind your coffee
beans in a coffee mill at a medium coarse to
fine setting.
