The Perfect Espresso or Short Black
Served in a demi tasse cup
- An espresso (single shot)
- 28ml extracted in 28 seconds
- The foundation for all traditional coffees
- Served immediately, before the rich, golden cream dissipates
As always, the five key points to the perfect cup remain:
- Correct grind – 28ml in 28 seconds
- Heavy, even tamp
- Watch the flow of crema
- Milk like silk
- Slow down the milk pour into the cup / glass
