What is an Authentic Espresso?

To appreciate the quality and consistency of the Magnifica, you need to understand what makes a good espresso. The identifying mark of an authentic Italian espresso can be found in the brown layer of foam that lies on top of a properly brewed espresso. The brown foam, referred to as the “crema”, is the essence of a perfect espresso. The crema holds all of the compounds that constitute the aroma and flavor of an espresso. A good crema will last about thirty to ninety seconds before it dissipates completely, once this has happened, the aromatics are infused into the drink to deliver an authentic-tasting espresso.
