Does Espresso taste better with or without crema? from Jack on Vimeo.
Findings for those who can not watch the video:
1. Espresso with crema: Fuller mouthfeel/body, oily, heavier similar to French press.
2. Espresso without crema: lighter mouthfeel, but the flavors seemed brighter similar to a drip machine or pour over.
The Coffee Queen @ http://thecoffeeqweenblog.wordpress.com/ tried out the experiment. She found the espresso tasted more bitter without the crema. Different results! Though I don't know if I could doing this over again, too much espresso right now.
And yes, you see a USPS box on the kitchen table among other things. This is what happens when the Girlfriend is away. Things tend to leave their "proper places."
(I would like to give credit to www.jimseven.com for giving me the idea to do this, and some of the vocab to describe what I was tasting.)
Thanks for doing the test. Next time I have an espresso, I'm going to have to try that.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike, I am curious to see what other results people get. Admittedly, my espresso machine is lower end, so to see a range of espresso makers do this seems profitable.
ReplyDeleteA milk frother is among the best additions you can have in your kitchen, especially if you enjoy your cup of coffee. Coffee with creamy white froth is always such a treat at any given time. But for this to happen, you would need to get a frother so you can also enjoy delicious milk just like you like it. A milk frother spins air into a milk cup, creating whipped cream like froth that you can add to your coffee top.best milk frother
