THE COFFEE EXPERIENCE

A good espresso is extremely sensuous. Our eyes are attracted to its warm color and soft velvety cream, our noses to its strong aromas, and our palate to the taste and body that only a good cup of coffee can provide.

Visual. The warm color of coffee streaked with cream is a pleasure to the eye.

Aromatic. To appreciate and release the aromas in a good cup of espresso coffee, mix the coffee thoroughly. Arabica coffee can be identified by its roasting fragrance with floral, fruity or spicy hints; Robusta coffee usually gives a woody or earthy aroma.

Taste. The taste buds on our tongues provide us with different tastes: those at the tip perceive sweet tastes, those on the sides perceive acidity, those at the back bitterness. The harmony of a good cup of Arabica coffee comes from a balance between sweetness and acidity. In contrast, Robusta coffee offers notably bitter taste.

Aftertaste. An espresso is characterized by a strong initial taste and a lingering aftertaste. The first sip of espresso covers the tongue’s surface; the taste buds then detect the extract.

Touch. The body is another important feature of the espresso, resulting from the oil particles that spread important components of the aroma and increase viscosity.
