Espresso is a small, black, strong coffee prepared in Italian way by forcing live steam through dark-roast coffee beans prepared with a small mazzer grinder. After the mazzer mini grinder has done its work, the coffee is placed into an electric machine designed just for this purpose and hot water is forced through the coffee at very high pressure - extracting all the possible flavour.
Brewing espresso has certainly been made easier, over the years, with the advancement of more automated electric machines and through the ingenuity of the mazzer electric grinder. With all small artistic endeavours however, the "perfect" cup of espresso still must be perfected, no matter how advanced the mazzer grinder has become. As with all mini fine arts, practise makes perfect.
A 1 to 1 1/2 ounce mini shot of espresso should brew in 19-23 seconds. The espresso should flow out of the electric machine at a slow, but steady dribble. If it has been perfectly brewed, the surface will be covered with a thick, foamy, golden brown crema.
If the crema is good, then the sugar will float on the surface for a couple of seconds. Espresso coffee, despite being a sublime experience on its own, is the small, mini foundation for a wide variety of specialty coffee drinks such as the Cappuccino.
The small mini electric mazzer grinder on this page is one of the fundamental ingredients in the perfect espresso.
