6: Introduction To Crema
What is an Authentic Espresso?
To appreciate the quality and consistency of the
Magnifica, you need to understand what makes a good
espresso. The identifying mark of an authentic Italian
espresso can be found in the brown layer of foam that
lies on top of a properly brewed espresso. The brown
foam, referred to as the “crema”, is the essence of a
perfect espresso. The crema holds all of the compounds
that constitute the aroma and flavor of an espresso. A
good crema will last about thirty to ninety seconds
before it dissipates completely, once this has happened,
the aromatics are infused into the drink to deliver an
authentic-tasting espresso.
