Espresso Machine
It has a boiler design inside to facilitate the production of hot water. The high-pressure hot water, which is close to boiling, is passed through finely ground and flat-packed coffee powder to produce a drink of about 30ml. It has a rich flavor and a dense layer of oil.
There are two different types of espresso machines on the market: semi-automatic and fully automatic. Semi-automatic models contain one or more boiling heads and have shorter brewing times, making them effective in commercial environments that require large amounts of fast brewing. Full-automatic models include a grinding mechanism and the entire process is automatically controlled. The brewing time is longer than that of semi-automatic models.
Because it has a supercharging function, espresso coffee not only has a rich taste, but also has a dense layer of coffee oil foam on the surface, which we call Crema. The color of the oil tends to be golden yellow or brown, and the aroma also emits different flavor characteristics depending on the different coffee beans used.After adding water to espresso, it can become a cup of Americano coffee, or you can add milk, syrup, cream, spices and other flavorings to make coffee drinks with different flavors such as macchiato, cappuccino, latte, mocha... etc.
When making Italian coffee, it is recommended to use medium to dark roasted coffee beans, because this has a higher success rate and a richer coffee flavor. If you don’t want the taste to be too bitter, you can give priority to medium roasted Italian beans. Here are the five most popular ones this year:
1. Front Street classic Italian blended coffee beans - rich and mellow taste
Most coffee lovers have only heard of Mamba coffee, but they don't know the formula and origin of "Mamba". In fact, Mamba is a combination of Indonesian Mandheling beans and Brazilian coffee beans. The taste can play a complementary and harmonious role. Mamba blending was very popular in Taiwanese cafes in the early years, and it can be regarded as an ancient coffee flavor. Front Street's classic Italian blend is based on the Mamba recipe and adds Robusta, which fully improves the oiliness of the coffee and makes the Italian coffee body stronger. It is suitable for home production and used for latte art.
2. Front Street Strawberry Candy espresso Italian blended coffee beans - light floral and fruity aroma
If you want to make an espresso with a floral and fruity aroma, you should use medium roasted coffee beans. We recommend Front Street Strawberry Candy espresso coffee beans. You can order directly from Taobao or Tmall stores. This is a espresso made from two major origins: Costa Rica Tara beads, which are famous for their honey processing, and Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. On this basis, coupled with Colombian coffee beans, the espresso that can be prepared is not only non-irritating, but when extracted by the coffee machine, it has good oil and dense texture, and at the same time has a sweet and sour taste like strawberry gummy.
