Coffee is one of the most widely-consumed drinks in the world, and there are many variations on the old standby of regularly brewed coffee. One of the most popular is espresso, which happens to be one of the most caffeinated drinks that exists.
Espresso is made by driving a very small amount of water that is nearly boiling through coffee beans that are ground finer than those used for regular drip coffee. When espresso is done, it is thicker than normal coffee, and it has a layer of creamy foam on the surface. That foamy layer comes from the heat and pressure of the water, which quickly blends together the oils in the ground coffee, creating that creamy texture. Espresso is usually served in 2-ounce servings, and each of those servings has anywhere from 80 to 150 milligrams of caffeine. A typical 8-ounce cup of drip coffee has 95 to 200 milligrams of caffeine, so espresso has much more bang for its buck.
Espressos are made more in cafes than in homes because you need specialized equipment to make the drink. A commercial espresso machine is really something you need if you own a cafe or are considering serving espresso in your restaurant. ifyoulovecoffee offers several types and brands of Commercial Espresso Machines in Dallas. They fall under the category of either Commercial Super Automatic or Commercial Traditional.
The Commercial Traditional machines are lower-tech than the Commercial Super Automatic. The traditional ones have a portofilter handle that is used to control the machine. You can adjust the size of the shot and steam output, and they typically come with one to four brew heads. The traditional machines are sometimes referred to as manual espresso machines.
The Commercial Super Automatic machines are more technologically advanced, and everything is controlled with a few buttons. You can determine the amount of coffee in your shot, how much water is used, and the water temperature. These machines often have LCD screens and use self-frothers. The biggest benefit is that the mess from making the coffee is contained inside the espresso machine. Commercial Super Automatic machines are generally more expensive than the traditional machines.
