„Coffee is freshest immediately after it is ground. After grinding the volatile oils that were previously protected inside the bean are exposed to the air which oxidizes and stales the coffee. This effect occurs immediately after grinding so it is important to tamp and extract the espresso as quickly as possible. The grinder should be activated for 15-20 seconds every time a shot is desired so that only freshly ground coffee is used. Instead of two pulls on the doser, the barista should pull several times until the entire basket is filled with ground coffee. See the tamping section for additional instructions.“

„So, apart from method, what else does the crema signify? Back to Ewan Reid."The crema allows us to guess at the type of bean used in the espresso blend. A blend using lots of robusta beans will have a dark brown and, although shortlived, an effervescent crema. Arabica beans will have a lighter coloured crema, with a less vigorous foam." It's precisely because of these visual cues that you can see our coffee experts staring intently at the cup of espresso, before raising it to their lips.“

„The bean designated for an espresso is roasted just slightly longer than regular coffee beans so that the rich oils in the coffee are brought to the surface the bean. It is a surprise to most people to learn that this dark roast contains less caffeine than lighter roasts because the espresso process, hot water passing swiftly through ground coffee, leaves more caffeine in the grounds and less in your demitasse.“
