Web designers often have
to stay up late to meet deadlines so we become connoisseurs of the black
beverage.
With time and patience you will acquire the skill to
make a perfect espresso every time - deep colour creamy texture and
sweet taste with a good crema on top..
To make
the best espresso you need roasted Arabica beans (100%)
and they must be very finely ground and a good quality machine capable
of delivering high pressure hot water. (Lavazza have a good quality
product range.)
Put
the finely ground espresso beans into the machine and very lightly
compact them (- see your machines manufacturers instructions). They
key to a good espresso and a good Crema is the pressure of hot water
- NOT STEAM as this scorches the grinds and causes a bitter taste
- so it is vital to have a good quality espresso machine Krups Gaggia
etc - Italy make the best machines.
