I am fortunate to have experience good espresso in my life (but too little).
How does it taste like?
- Good espresso has some slight bitterness that is necessary and not overpowering
- Good espresso smells great (put your nose near it and smell the aroma)
- Good espresso is smooth
- Good espresso has a pronounced body and is not watery
- Good espresso taste can come with hints of fruitiness with tinge of acidity
- Good espresso can taste nutty and chocolaty
- Good espresso does not leave a bad taste in your mouth
It’s true! I wish there were more people out there who could make a great espresso!
It has definitely improved these days with more people getting an Oscar and the group of coffee lovers has become bigger compared to a year ago. But we still are a far away to become true coffee aficionados.
