Espresso n
(Ess-Press-ó)
Strong concentrated black coffee made under steam pressure [Italian,
literally ‘pressed out’]
First seen at the Paris fair in 1855, espresso coffee is extraordinary.
A marvel, impeccably extracting all that is best in coffee and no more
- so quickly brewed that you get the pure energetic ‘heart’ of
the coffee.
Our espresso roast brings you the perfect Italian style, sweet in
flavour with an indefinable tang. Balanced and harmonious, it is the
pinnacle of coffee experience, rewarding the drinker with a burst of
flavour and giving great persistence to the palate.
The vital indication of whether a cup of espresso is a good one is
the presence of ‘crema’. At the critical point of preparation,
as the coffee is discharged into the cup, the brew should be covered
with a caramel coloured layer - the crema - created by the precious
oils in the coffee mixing with the water and air during the extraction
process. The crema preserves the heat and delicious aroma. The finest
beans from exotic locations around the world are blended, freshly roasted,
ground and brewed. Whatever your fancy, indulge yourself.
