Home Espresso FAQ (#)

„    The incontrovertible source of the word “espresso” is lost in the anecdotal history of coffee cuisine. The only thing we know for certain is that it is never spelled “expresso.”     While speed or rapidity are seemingly implied, once you have learned how to run your machine you will find there is nothing fast about creating a double tall skinny orange-almond latte with extra foam.     The etymological source I prefer to cling to is an Italian word saying simply, “I have just now made this with my own hands especially for you.” back to contents B-1. Definition of Crema     "Crema" is the lovely layer of thickly effervescent foam that defines well-crafted espresso.“
