Introduction
For centuries, coffee connoisseurs have debated the elusive perfect cup. Some say it's about the roast, others about the grind. But we're here to tell you, it's all about the crema.
Crema: The Unsung Hero of Coffee
Crema is the golden-brown crust on the surface of a well-made espresso shot. It's like the icing on the cake, the cherry on top of the whipped cream – it's the crowning glory of a perfectly pulled shot.
Coffee aficionados have long argued that crema is a matter of personal taste, that some people just prefer it one way or another. But we're here to tell you, friends, that's just not true.
Using our patented Crem-O-Meter, we've crunched the numbers and come to the conclusion that there are exactly 4,200 ways to quantify the perfect crema.
