How To Enjoy Espresso Like A True Italian Pro
BY Luna Regina
While espresso can be a fast caffeine boost, it’s a genuine experience for many. You can elevate your own espresso-tasting by approaching it like an Italian pro.
First, find an authentic cafe that uses high-quality beans and employs skilled baristas. When your espresso arrives, take a moment to appreciate the luscious crema layer on top.
As your sense of smell accounts for 80% of your taste, you must allow yourself to take in the aroma. Afterward, let the first sip linger on your tongue.
The coffee will release a combination of complex flavors on your taste buds. Focus on differentiating each one, which can range from floral and fruity to bold and nutty.
Take your time and savor the flavors. If you want your taste buds to be as sharp as possible, sip sparkling water to cleanse your palette before you start.
