When the morning breaks and the alarm wakes you up, coffee cuts down the grumpy start to the day. Isn’t it true with all the ‘I LOVE COFFEE’ t-shirts lurking around us? The evident love for this beverage knows no bounds, so much that people go on a Coffee Date and not one person comes without finishing their cup.

But that is a different story to tell. This blog is about some expressions and lots of Espresso! With a bulky layer of cream on the top and lots of Caffeine for an energetic day, Espresso is just a thicker coffee, brewed with high pressure. However, there are innumerable Espresso coffee lovers around the world, and their love exists for different reasons.

While some love Espresso for the energy boost it gives, some do it because they love the strong flavour it brings to their taste buds. Overall, Espresso is coffee brewed differently and here, the maker takes away all the credit, aka– the Barista!

The art of brewing Espresso begins with knowing the coffee beans exactly well with the expertise in milk frothing, efficient tamping, excellent presentation and a lovely, “Here’s your order ma’am/sir”, topped with an arch to make the best espresso coffee! And your Barista is a passionate, dedicated and dexterous artist who can’t contain the art flowing off his cup. But what makes this art more desirable than the beautiful process is being able to learn it yourself!

Believe us, we can help you brew your Espresso coffee just like your Barista, actually- even better!

Choose the Perfect Espresso Coffee

Before jumping off to pouring Espresso coffee that even a Barista can’t make, the first step is to choose an Espresso coffee powder that is exceptional both in taste and texture. From here, the task becomes easier. With our Espresso Super Power Instant Coffee, you can skip the step to grind the roasted coffee beans to perfection.

The coffee you choose is the predominant decider of how your coffee is going to taste. In our case, our Espresso Super Power Instant Coffee is sourced from Ethiopia, the birthplace of authentic coffee. The 100% Arabica coffee jar is loaded with the richness of Ashwagandha, Brahmi and Gotukola. They act as taste enhancers and brew the final beverage you won’t stop praising.

On the other hand, when you choose a random espresso coffee powder of average quality, you might put all your mind and heart into perfecting the brewing process but what would come out will be bitter or sour abnormally, have no flavour depth, no crema, unpleasant aftertaste and burps and an ordinary, unpleasant aroma.

Remember, to be able to brew a good coffee cup, you need a good coffee powder.

Know the Boil & the Measure

After you are all sorted with the instant espresso coffee powder, move on to the next step. Heat water and bring it to a vigorous boil. Please note, this step can make or break your process of making espresso coffee at home so doing it properly is the only choice you should make.

For a double shot of espresso coffee, dose 5-6 grams of espresso coffee powder and add it to your espresso cup. Again, choosing the right measurement can be a subjective thing and it totally depends on individual taste & tolerance of the strong flavour. We gave you the basic one now based on your preference, choose the dose.

Adhere to the Pours & Stirs for the Barista-like Espresso Coffee

While choosing the right water boiling level to brew your coffee is the crucial step, this one is also significant, considering the right stirs and pours help smoothen the texture and liquefy it appropriately.

Add a little amount of boiling water to the espresso powder and stir it for a thick paste-like consistency ensuring that the coffee granules dissolve completely. Keep the measurements  little. It’s still a while to go for the full-fledged espresso coffee mug.

And now, add all the boiling water gradually to the cup, stirring continuously. The constant blending technique ensures that there is a smooth blend and textured consistency of coffee flavour.

Brew Your Espresso Coffee Like a Barista!

So now that the brewing is done, it’s time to refine! Sometimes fine particles refuse to dissolve completely and become an unpleasant element to your Barista-like Coffee. Consider filtering it out using a fine mesh strainer and have the finest espresso from Roastea Instant espresso coffee powder (Sorry, not sorry).

And, add sugar if you are in for a sweet talk!

Now comes the aesthetics! Remember, you are a Barista at home who loves their job. Pour the coffee into an Instagram-worthy cup and watch for the Crema to be golden and rich in texture– this is the perfect indicator of an Espresso coffee like a Barista’s. In any case, if the crema is too dark or thin, your stirring speed and pour measures are to be adjusted accordingly.

Is it Milk?

If you are a milk fan and need to have it in your espresso, froth it until it turns velvety and voila, you’re just one step away from pouring the frothed milk over your espresso coffee!

Serve! Serve! Serve!

Without any delay, serve the espresso coffee immediately to indulge in the peak flavoured beverage that espresso is. Remember, no coffee tastes the same if it is served after a while of it being ready.

And yes, you’re free to experiment with your coffee dose but to be a sought-after espresso-coffee-brewer Home Barista, excellence is the key!
