  • Yeah I know but to do the "sugar test" of the crema you have to put sugar, right?

  • I would say that he just attempted to demonstrate the consistency of the crema

  • everyone who is saying that he ruined the espresso is so dumb. he was only showing the consistency of the crema by demonstrating how the sugar floats on the top before sinking....

  • anyone else see the cat from alice in wonderland when the sugar sank?

  • @unibrook No, now it's a Cafe Cubano . . . and they are awesome!

  • well, it probably was good coffee.......until you destroyed it with that sugar.

  • Cheshire Cat?

  • @KingFunksAlot The crema needs to be dark but not too dark, but never light or blonde in colour. If its too light the coffee has extracted too quick and gives a watery flavour

  • I have the impression that the espresso topic has been run over by techno geeks who are obsessed with details such as the sugar test seen here. Guys sorry to get you back to the ground, but in the end, it is NOT about the crema. It just ISNT. Its about the COFFEE, about the TASTE of it. You can make the perfect espresso without any crema whatsoever. You can make the perfect crema out of a coffee so disgusting in taste i wouldnt give it to my dog.

    Stop for a second, thnk: what was it about again?

  • Our crema is very thick and rich like that but is very light in colour? what is best light or dark coloured crema or does is not mean anything if colour is different.

  • please tell how can I get the espresso cream? i have the espresso machine(the one for the coffee shops) and rarely i got the espresso cream :(

    i am using Illy and Carluccio’s coffee brands

  • sorry - bei einer perfekten Crema steht der Zucker auch mal 25 Sekunden, bevor er untergeht... das war Standard
