Traditional Italian Espresso
Mastering the Art of Italian Espresso
The name says it all: espresso is crafted to be savored instantly, capturing the essence of luxury in a single, powerful sip. For coffee connoisseurs, espresso is the ultimate coffee experience—bold, aromatic, and perfectly topped with a velvety crema that hints at the depth beneath.
An expertly crafted espresso combines art and science in every cup. With water heated to 88°-93°C (190°-200°F) and pressed through a finely tamped seven-gram layer of coffee at nine or more atmospheres, it yields a rich, concentrated shot of approximately 30 ml (one ounce) that awakens the senses.
The Craft of Espresso
True espresso begins with freshly ground beans, precisely calibrated for this method. The skill of the barista lies in perfecting the grind, applying just the right amount of pressure, and watching the variables—time, temperature, and pressure—that define perfection. Even with advanced machines, the art of espresso requires vigilance and a touch of mastery to bring out the finest qualities in Tonino Lamborghini coffee.
