The Espresso Pages from Sweet Maria's: Espresso, a Definition and General (#)
„A more technical definition of espresso by Ernesto Illy is as follows: "An Italian espresso is a polyphasic beverage prepared from roasted and ground coffee and water alone, constituted by a foam layer with a partiucular "tiger tail" pattern, on top of an emulsion of microscopic oil droplets in an aqueous solution of sugars, acids, protein-like materials, and caffeine, with dispersed gas-bubbles and solids .The distinguishing sensory characteristics of italian espresso include a rich body, a full fine aroma, and equilibrated bitter-sweet taste with an acidic note, and a pleasant lingering after-taste, exempt from unpleasant flavor defects."“

„ Turkish coffee, a strong, unfiltered brew of finely powdered coffee and sugar, is popular in Greece, Turkey, and Arabia. Italian-style espresso is brewed by forcing steam through darkly roasted, finely powdered coffee. Most other coffees are filtered. Café au lait, coffee mixed with scalded milk, is a traditional French breakfast drink, as is café con leche in countries where Spanish is spoken.“

CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Questions and Answers, What is Italian espresso like?
„They told me that a typical Italian espresso tastes like a good double espresso from the Torrefazione coffee house chain in the USA. To me that means that Italian espressos are not good because the best espresso from Torrefazione is bad compared to the best of Barefoot, Stumptown, Vivace, Zoka, Hines, Vita etc. (Note: these folks were taking about the 2004 Torrefazione).“
