Crema Coffee

A few words about Pressure Brewed Coffee

Fine espresso and "crema coffee" share the same principles of preparation.  Grinding, tamping and brewing coffee under high pressure is considered the ideal process to extract coffee's maximum flavor and aroma by the majority of coffee experts.  The super automatic coffee and espresso centers for sale at 1st in Coffee will always produce espresso or crema coffee with a thick, foamy layer called "crema".  The "crema" traps the fine aromatics and the light gaseous flavors that register on the palate.  Like a blanket, it keeps the flavors, which would otherwise escape, locked in.  The high pressure and the shorter brewing time prevent the extraction of the bitter oils and release less caffeine than other brewing methods.  You will always make the absolute freshest and most aromatic cup of coffee.  This is why so many fine European restaurants will only serve you freshly made crema coffee.
