ESPRESSO
is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing hot water
under pressure through ground coffee
ESPRESSO

part of a hand-crafted coffee beverage such as a café latte, cappuccino or other espresso-based drinks.
ESPRESSO
the water soluble elements of the coffee and the dark
brown base of the espresso shot.
Solution
the tiny particles of coffee and gas bubbles that are
suspended in the middle layer that contribute to the feeling of the body in an espresso and help to prevent you from tasting the bitter flavors in the coffee. It is slightly lighter in color than the base of the espresso
Suspension
Espresso brewing extracts more oils than other brewing
methods. also known as “crema”
Emulsion
Clean and in good condition
Espresso Machine
you will start the extraction process and then you will
manually stop the extraction process if you achieve 30-45 ml
of espresso.
Manual
FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED IN MAKING ESPRESSO
it automates the brewed volume (hence
indirectly brew time). They do this by adding an in-line flow
meter to the group head: when the programmed amount of
water has passed through the meter, the pump turns off.
Grinding and tamping are still manual.
- You will start the extraction process and the
machine will stop the process when it has achieved
the exact volume
Semi-Automatic
it automatically grinds the coffee, tamp it, and
extract the espresso shot. The operator only has to fill the
bean hopper and, if the machine is not connected to a water
line, add water to a reservoir. Some models contain an
automated milk frothing and dispensing device.
Automatic
First thing is to determine the type of cup you would like. If you plan on enjoying your beverage at Starbucks, request a “for
here” mug. It’s better for the environment. Or if it’s a hot
summer day, ask for an “iced” beverage.
Cup
Next, if it’s late in the day, you may want to request a “_____” or “half-_______”. But if you want it fully loaded, you don’t need to say a thing.
Decaf

quad – is there anyone who actually drinks more than four

Syrup
Your dairy option would be next – soy, non-fat, whole milk or a Breve which is half-and-half. If you do not choose a dairy
option, you will receive 2% by default.
Milk
Here is where you can make your drink personal – extra
hot, dry, wet, foamy, no whipped cream, etc,…have fun with
it!
