What is Espresso?

Espresso is a concentrated coffee brewed by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee under high pressure. This method results in a rich, flavorful shot of coffee with a creamy layer of crema on top. The unique characteristics of espresso make it a favorite among coffee aficionados and the base for popular drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos.

Why Coffee Powder Matters for Espresso

1. Grind Size: The grind size is critical for espresso. It must be fine enough to create the right resistance during extraction, ensuring a balanced flavor profile. Too coarse, and the coffee will be weak; too fine, and it can become bitter. At Carococo Roaster, we provide expertly ground espresso coffee powder that ensures optimal extraction.

2. Freshness: Freshly ground coffee powder preserves the essential oils and flavors that give espresso its distinctive taste. The longer coffee is ground, the more it can lose its freshness. We recommend using our coffee powder within weeks of grinding to experience the best flavors.

3. Flavor Complexity: The right coffee powder allows you to unlock the complex flavors inherent in high-quality beans. Our espresso blends are crafted to bring out notes ranging from chocolatey to fruity, providing a delightful tasting experience in every shot.

Brewing the Perfect Espresso

To make a perfect espresso using our coffee powder, follow these simple steps:

1. Choose Quality Coffee Powder: Start with Carococo Roaster's finely ground espresso coffee powder for the best results.

2. Measure Accurately: Use about 18-20 grams of coffee powder for a double shot of espresso. Consistency in measurement helps achieve a balanced extraction.

3. Tamp Properly: Distribute the coffee evenly in the portafilter and tamp it down firmly. A level, consistent tamp is essential for even extraction.

4. Brew: Attach the portafilter to the espresso machine and brew. The ideal extraction time is about 25-30 seconds, resulting in a rich, creamy shot.

5. Enjoy: Savor your espresso as is, or use it as a base for your favorite coffee drinks.
