Crema
What is it? The layer on top of an espresso shot, full of flavor, aromatics, and reddish-brown froth.
Step 1
Brew up a fresh shot of espresso.
Step 2
Analyze the shot.
Step 3
Look at that beautiful layer on top. Full of flavor, taste profiles, oils, and freshness!
My take on it...
I always find this layer so aesthetically pleasing. You can really learn a lot about its profile.
