Espresso or instan

Espresso is a type of coffee drink. The extracted coffee is very small, very concentrated (around 6-10x more concentrated than normal filter drinks) and is used as a flavoring / supplement in Latte, cappuccino, and macchiato.

The only difference between a latte, cappuccino and macchiato is the amount of milk that is evaporated into a glass.

Understanding espresso above may be controversial,
Immediately, we turn to how to roast coffee for espresso.
Roasting is one of the important processes that will affect the quality of the aroma and taste of coffee. Even as a percentage, the roasting process has an effect of up to 30% in donations of aroma and taste.
This figure is obtained from the assumption that 55% of the aroma and taste formation in coffee is in the "garden" (climatic conditions, height of planting, coffee varieties, post-harvest process, etc.) and 15% of the coffee brewing process.

This figure is obtained from the assumption that 55% of the aroma and taste formation in coffee is in the "garden" (climatic conditions, height of planting, coffee varieties, post-harvest process, etc.) and 15% of the coffee brewing process.
In the roasting process, raw coffee beans (raw green bean) which have the characteristics of soft, "grassy" smell and little / no taste at all are transformed into roasted beans that have unique-scented characteristics and rich in taste.
(For the record; roasted greenbean must have a water content of 12-14%.)

Roasting profile that will be reviewed is Espresso roast. In this phase, the coffee beans have gone through a long "journey" that brings many changes ranging from decreasing weight (lighter), darker color (almost black) with oil content that appears on the surface of the coffee beans and a larger size compared to the initial conditions when the coffee beans are still raw (raw green bean).
In this dark roast profile also the process of "carbonyzed" occurs in coffee beans so that the aroma and taste characteristics of coffee will generally tend to be bitter, somewhat charred and the least caffeine.
At present, the selection of roasting profile is more or less not only influenced by shifting market tastes, but also the desire to further explore the aroma and taste characteristics of coffee beans. This will certainly be more obtained in the profile of light roasts and medium roasts. In addition, the positive progress with the better post-harvest process that produces quality coffee beans also makes people think "it's too bad if this kind of coffee is roasted in the dark".

How to drink Italian espresso is somewhat unique, even how to order a single or double espresso is also a typical Italian to enjoy the day, then how the actual history that developed in it, to become a trend until now.

La Pavoni became the espresso machine that was broadcast as the first commercial in the country at that time. The word "espresso" itself was born from the concept of making it, namely express flowing coffee grounds quickly, then slowly becoming "express oh" gradually becoming more familiar with the term espresso.

Finally, in 1896 at the world exhibition, there was an espresso machine that tried to answer the Italian needs for coffee, this machine brewed coffee with steam and claimed to produce 3000 cups of coffee per 1 hour. But about the taste, it is still not quite friendly on the tongue, this is related to since it is known that brewing coffee should ideally be at a certain hot temperature. For the first time the success of this espresso machine was marked in 1901 by the success of the founder Luigi Bezzera. Until finally the perfect version of the espresso machine was present in 1905 which was produced by Pavoni. Not only is it quick to serve espresso, but also the taste of the coffee can be accepted by the Italians.

No Cappuccino After 12PM

Like a mutual agreement that was never negotiated, milk for the Italians really drunk as a friend to eat breakfast. Similarly, cappuccino is like a taboo if in Italy there are people who drink above 12 noon, it does not mean it is not permissible, it's just that trends that develop in Italian society shape that habit.

Never an Italian Order an Espresso

The Italians never even ordered espresso by saying it "espresso" because the coffee drink in Italy is indeed espresso. For them, just order it by saying "Caffè" or verbally politely "Un caffè, per favore."
