A WORD ABOUT PRESSURE BREWED COFFEE ("Crema Coffee")

Grinding, tamping and brewing coffee under high pressure is considered the ideal process to extract its maximum flavor and aroma by the majority of coffee experts. Your Capresso "Ultima"will always produce espresso or coffee with a thick, foamy layer called "crema". The "crema" traps the fine aromatics and the light gaseous flavors that register on the palate. It keeps the flavors, which would otherwise escape, locked in. The high pressure and the short brewing time prevent the extraction of bitter oils and release less caffeine than other brewing methods. You will always make the absolute freshest and most aromatic cup of coffee. This is also the reason why many fine European restaurants and hotels will serve you "crema coffee" only. Use the Capresso "Ultima" to make a cup or two of "crema coffee".

factoid - caffeine

Caffeine is tasteless. A "strong" coffee or espresso is mostly the result of the amount of coffee in relation to the amount of water. The longer a bean is roasted, the less caffeine it has. "Arabica" beans have less caffeine than "Robusta" beans. "Arabica" beans have more flavor than "Robusta" beans, which are mostly used in high-volume coffees and instant coffees.

factoid - espresso

Espresso is the way the bean is roasted, not the bean itself. You can use many different roasts to produce espresso coffee. You can also use the espresso roasted coffee to make a larger cup of coffee. In the US, espresso roasting results mostly in a darker roast than espresso roasting in Europe.
