6: Introduction To Crema
What is an Authentic 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.
