The Art in 30 Milliliters of Coffee
Espresso is a strong, concentrated coffee made by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee under high pressure in a short amount of time. Though only about 30 milliliters, espresso has a rich, complex flavor that serves as the base for many popular coffee drinks like cappuccino, latte, and americano, found in nearly every coffee shop around the world.
The uniqueness of espresso lies in its brewing method, which requires a special espresso machine capable of generating high pressure (around 9 bars) to extract the best flavor and aroma from the coffee beans. The result is a drink topped with a thick layer of crema, which is the hallmark of a quality espresso.

The History of Coffee Espresso
Espresso was first developed in Italy in the early 20th century, around 1901, by an engineer named Luigi Bezzera, an engineer from Italy, first developed espresso in the early 20th century, around 1901. Bezzera designed the first espresso machine to brew coffee quickly, so workers in Italy could enjoy coffee without losing time.
Espresso soon became a symbol of Italian coffee culture. Over time, it evolved into the foundation of modern coffee drinks worldwide. Baristas and coffee roasters around the globe now rely on espresso to create various innovative coffee drinks, from cappuccinos to macchiatos.

The Characteristics of Espresso
Espresso has several distinctive characteristics that set it apart from regular coffee, including:
- ☕ Small size, big flavor: Espresso is served in a small volume, around 25-30 milliliters, but its flavor is intense and rich. This is the result of the high-pressure extraction process.
- 🌕 Thick crema: Crema is the golden frothy layer that forms on the surface of espresso, indicating a high-quality extraction. It adds smoothness and provides a distinct aroma.
- 🔥 Brewed under high pressure: Espresso is brewed at a pressure of around 9 bars, much higher than regular coffee brewed through drip methods.
- 💡 High concentration: Espresso contains more caffeine per milliliter compared to regular coffee, even though its volume is smaller.
When brewed correctly, espresso delivers a rich flavor profile with notes of bitterness, sweetness, and acidity, along with an unforgettable aroma.
Robusta & Espresso: The Perfect Combination
In the world of espresso, the choice of coffee beans is crucial. While Arabica is commonly chosen for specialty coffee, Robusta is often preferred for espresso due to several key reasons:
- Stronger and bolder flavor: Robusta has a stronger, more bitter taste compared to Arabica, making it ideal for creating an intense and robust espresso.
- Thicker crema: Espresso made with Robusta beans tends to produce thicker and longer-lasting crema, providing a smoother texture and consistency in each sip.
- Higher caffeine content: Robusta contains more caffeine than Arabica, delivering a quicker energy boost for those who enjoy strong coffee.
- More affordable: Robusta beans are typically more affordable than Arabica, making them a popular choice for commercial espresso production.

Tips for Brewing the Perfect Espresso
To make the perfect espresso, several factors need to be considered:
- Use fresh coffee and grind it finely. Espresso requires a very fine grind to ensure proper extraction.
- Proper coffee dosage: Typically, 18-20 grams of coffee is ideal for a double shot espresso.
- The right water temperature: The water temperature should be between 90°C and 96°C for optimal extraction.
- Extraction time: Espresso typically takes about 25-30 seconds to brew for balanced flavor.
- Watch for the crema: A good crema is a sign of proper extraction. If the crema is too thin or disappears quickly, it could indicate issues with the brewing process.
