โ˜• Coffee Crema Reading
โฑ๏ธ 5-minute lesson

The crema on your espresso tells you everything about the quality of your shot. Perfect crema should be:

  • Golden-hazel: Not too light, not too dark
  • 3-4mm thick: Thick enough to hold sugar on top
  • Slow-dissipating: Should last at least 2 minutes

White spots indicate under-extraction; dark cracks mean over-extraction.

Quick Quiz: What does white spotting on crema indicate?
