Espresso – The Heart Of All Coffee Drinks

Coffee brews are prepared by brewing hot water with crushed coffee beans. The preparation is either done gently through drip/filter, French press/cafetiere, percolator, etc., or done very fast under steam pressure by espresso machine, where the coffee is named "espresso"—slow-brewed ones are usually regarded just as "coffee". All beverages are based on either coffee or espresso, in diverse strengths; a few drinks have milk added, a few have flavorings, a few have alcohol, a few are amalgamations of coffee with espresso or tea.

Espresso- The Heart Of All Coffee Drinks

It is made by using an espresso machine to force a small amount of nearly hot water as well as steam - approximately 86 to 95 °C - under pressure through excellently crushed as well as compacted coffee. The machine was patented in 1901 from the previous 1884 machine, and manufactured in Italy; with the innovation of the Gaggia machine, espresso spread in fame to the UK in the fifties where it was a lot drunk with milk as cappuccino, owing to the impact of the British milk bars, after that America in the eighties, where again it was mostly drunk with milk, and then through cafe chains it spread internationally. This drink is usually thicker than coffee prepared by other procedures, having a higher concentration of suspended and melted solids; it usually has soft foam on top called "crema". It is the base for several other brews.

One Of Its Variations A Lot In Demand Is Cappuccino

It originates from Italy .It is prepared from 1/3 espresso, 1/3 boiling milk as well as 1/3 foamed milk. A cappuccino is different from a cafe latte in that it is made with much less steamed or textured milk than the cafe latte with the total of espresso as well as milk/foam making up between around 150 and 180 milliliters. The hot drink usually goes beyond the height of the mug, making the foam evident .It is served in a porcelain mug, which has far better heat retaining features. The foam over the cappuccino acts as an insulator and helps maintain the hotness of the liquid, letting it stay hotter longer.

Other than these drinks, there are a lot of other variations as well, like iced coffee, flavored coffee, caffe Americano and lots more. So, who’s stopping you? Just pay a visit to a renowned coffee shop to enjoy a good coffee drinking experience with your friends as well as family.
