How to make great Italian Espresso Coffee

The Italian espresso is, in my opinion ,best there is.You can get close , but you can't get better than this.The Italian tradition is to drink their espresso in a single gulp.In that way they can enjoy the full espresso flavor while the drink is fully fresh.One of the essentials for making great coffee is to grind coffee beans just before making espresso. You are supposed to drink espresso with very little sugar, and most Italian traditionalist will tell you that the true test of a great espresso is that the sugar must be able to sit on the surface of the crema for at least 30 seconds before sinking!

Of course, great coffee beans,great recipe,or just right amounts of sugar don't mean anything if you don't have right kind of coffee maker.And I strongly recommend Breville Espresso Maker because it's really a space shuttle among coffee makers.

In your coffee maker heat the water between 85 and 93ºC. and force it under 8 - 10 atmospheres of pressure through 6- 9 grams of fresh ground coffee beans so that about 1,5 fluid oz. of beverage falls into a small cup in around 20 seconds. Espresso is usually served in a "half cup" that usually has the capacity of holding about 3 oz.Add just a little sugar to test if you are successful in making real style Italian espresso and Voila!

Enjoy your espresso.
