 The Fundamentals of Espresso
Espresso is a 45ml (1.5 ounces) beverage that is prepared from 7-9 grams of coffee through which clean water of 192¡ - 198¡ F (88¡ - 92¡ C) has been forced at 9-10 atmospheres of pressure, where the grind of the coffee has made the brewing "flow"* time approximately 22-28 seconds.
Many espresso machines have a distinct "pre-infusion" cycle where a small quantity of water is pumped into the grounds and allowed to sit for several seconds before the pump is reactivated to finish the brew.
Italian espresso is a polyphasic beverage, prepared from roast and ground coffee and water alone, constituted by a foam layer of small bubbles with a particular tiger-tail pattern, on top of an emulsion of microscopic oil droplets in an aqueous solution of sugars, acids, protein-like material and caffeine, with dispersed gas bubbles and solids.
