![]() So it’s not too thick that it seems to last forever, and not so thin that it disappears right away. It should last for about two minutes before it dissipates back into the espresso shot. However, the crema isn’t something that will last your entire coffee. The crema should also last for a little while, and it shouldn’t dissipate back into the coffee right away. Crema relies on thousands of tiny bubbles to create a foamy, but velvety surface. It should be really smooth and without large bubbles in it. Good CremaĪ good crema should be a nice rich tan color with some reds and gold in it. So you still want it to look good, don’t you? Especially, if you’re serving the espresso shot to others who still think that a good crema equates to good flavor. Now that we know that the crema doesn’t really effect the taste of coffee it’s still something that you’ll get as you pull your espresso shot. But in reality crema doesn’t have all that much of an impact on the taste of the espresso. Now, there may be a psychological impact since we really do eat with our eyes. ![]() So at the end of the day, the effects of crema in coffee are minuscule other than it helps make the shot of espresso look good. You can have a great looking crema with terrible tasting espresso, and a bad looking crema where the coffee tastes great. Therefore, baristas became very focused on making a good crema because it represented a good espresso. ![]() That the coffee had been roasted recently enough that it still had some C02 out-gassing from the beans.That the bean’s natural fat/oil content was higher and it could then be assumed to be processed at the plantation in a preferable manner.Because as the industry grew the crema became a symbol for good coffee, but the connoisseurs disagree. Among connoisseurs there is actually some debate to the importance of crema in coffee. I think a lot of us, especially, non-coffee connoisseurs are led to believe that a nice looking crema makes or breaks the espresso shot. It’s not so much like the head of a Guinness where it helps make the drink. And crema makes the perfect espresso shot and makes the espresso taste good, right? Well not so fast. Even an entry-level espresso machine can produce a really good crema. Some people refer to the crema as the “Guinness effect” because it’s similar to the head on a pour of the popular Irish stout. The lighter foamy crema is now settling on top of the darker coffee. Think of it somewhat like what we learned about in school when mixing oil and water. The lighter coffee that was pulled from the shot filters back up to the top of the coffee and settles to the top of the shot. The lighter coffee comes first and then darker coffee is brewed after. We then begin to see the part that we all think of when we see crema in coffee. That’s where we first begin to see our light tans and browns of crema in coffee. This is what gives us our first glimpse of crema during the coffee extraction. Basically, natural fats and oils from the bean are suspended in micro bubbles of air. Water is forced through coffee beans placed in a portafilter, and the coffee is aerated. Now let’s move onto what happens as we pull a shot of espresso.Īn espresso machine works on pressure. However, the CO2 that remains is released during grinding. Most of CO2 is released into the air between roasting and grinding the beans. After coffee beans are roasted, they begin to release CO2. P.Crema is the tan colored foam that forms on top of coffee as you pull a shot of espresso.
