First signature blend from Sea Island Coffee allows you to espresso yourself
According to Sea Island Coffee, the purveyors of exotic coffees, how fantastic your caffeine shot in the morning is depends very much on the blend. The new Sea Island Signature Espresso Blend is a heady combination of rich blueberry and the chocolate finish of the coffee native to the Ethiopian region of Yirgacheffe, creating a whole new kind of espresso.
Further balanced and also sharpened by the smooth and creamy gourmet coffee from the Ipanema Estate in Brazil, the Sea Island Signature Espresso Blend provides the drinker with a textured taste that is certainly full bodied, that is perfect for both an early morning wake up call and as a digestive after dinner.
What’s more, to complete the blend, coffee from the brightest Estates of El Salvador has been added, yielding a floral finish to what coffee connoisseurs think is an exceptional blend.
Know your espresso:
The perfect espresso should be served in a porcelain cup. When you put espresso in a plastic cup, it deteriorates the aroma of the coffee. The cup should be very hot, too
In Naples, espresso is served with a glass of water, drunk before you drink the coffee
A real espresso should be served without sugar or milk
Sometimes espresso is served with a chocolate, but never a biscuit
In the purest sense, espresso coffee is made from 7 grams of finely ground coffee extracted to 1.5 fluid ounces (44 mls) over about 25 seconds
Espresso is usually topped with a golden creamy color (called the crema)
Espresso con panna – Espresso topped with whipped cream (sometimes called Café Vienne or Vienna)
Espresso Machiatto – The espresso is topped or “marked” with dash of foamed milk
