How to make an espresso
An espresso is a strong coffee with an extremely rich aroma, characterized by
its “chamois”-coloured cream.
To bring out the very best of its flavour, it is vital to have :
•
good-quality water : use fresh, chlorine-free water with a low mineral
content.
•
good-quality coffee : be it a subtle blend or a pure “vintage”, coffee offers
an infinite palette of flavours. Ask your coffee retailer’s advice and adjust
the grind according to the degree of roasting
