Removing the crema – Why not?
As you may know, crema is an essential part of a traditional espresso. Not only does it add to the visual appeal of the coffee, but it also plays a role in preserving aroma and delivering a full-bodied flavor experience. However, at XLIII Coffee, we take a different approach with our espresso. Instead of keeping it, our baristas have chosen to remove the crema intact. Intrigued?
At XLIII Coffee, our baristas are dedicated to perfecting every cup, treating each coffee bean as a story with its own unique character. Their mission? To let that story come through in the most authentic way possible.
Removing the crema may seem unconventional, but it allows our baristas to discover new dimensions in the coffee. Without the crema, the subtle, intricate notes of each bean are revealed more clearly. Aromas of ripe fruits, fresh blossoms, and even earthy undertones become more pronounced, offering a richer sensory experience.
A Shot at XLIII Coffee: A Journey of Flavor Discovery
Sipping a shot at XLIII Coffee isn’t just about drinking espresso; it’s a journey into flavor. Each sip invites you into a dialogue with the coffee, unveiling layers of taste and complexity.
- Purity: With the crema removed, the shot’s pure essence comes forward. You’ll taste the natural bitterness of the coffee, the crisp acidity of fruit, and lingering sweet undertones that make each shot unique.
- Complexity: Every coffee variety has its own unique flavor structure, and removing the crema highlights this complexity. You’ll experience the interplay of flavors as they move from bright, fresh top notes to deeper, more nuanced undertones.
- Balance: The perfect shot balances acidity, bitterness, sweetness, and body. Our baristas at XLIII Coffee pay close attention to each extraction parameter, creating shots that offer the perfect harmony of these elements.
A shot at XLIII Coffee is more than a drink—it’s a work of art, embodying the dedication and passion of our coffee artisans. For those who love coffee and are eager to explore new flavors, we invite you to XLIII Coffee for an exciting journey of discovery.
