Preparing espresso is a genuine ritual fusing art and science.
and it has its Rules.
- The Blend: Only blend made up
exclusively of Arabica coffees provides a harmonious,
well-balanced taste striking happy compromise between
bitterness and acidity as well as imparting rich,
fragrant aroma and full body.
- The Grinder: You can experiment
with an adjustable grinder until you find the perfect
setting (to allow an extraction time of between 15 and 20
seconds for home brewing). The exact dose of coffee: 6 to
7 grams per cup!
- The Machine: Espresso machine must
be able to heat water up to 90’C (194’F) and to
exert pressure equal to 9 atmospheres or more.
- The Operator: His or her main
function is to follow the other three rules and
to tamp down the coffee with just the right turn of a
hand

thanks to this emulsion process espresso coffee
delights us with its three unmistakable traits:
- its Cream: namely, the foam that
characteristically tops every good cup of espresso;
- its Body: the emulsion of the oils
gives the coffee a fullness of body that cannot be
obtained with any other coffee brewing technique;
- its Aroma: the greater richness in
the aroma of espresso is due to the presence of the cream
which prevents the volatile substances from dispersing
into the air immediately after the preparation of the
coffee
