Taste
A harmonius blend of sweet and bitter
It is time to drink the coffee.
The temperature has dropped to about 150°F, which is ideal for tasting espresso. And its taste is better unaltered by sugar: the best espresso already has the right balance of bitter and sweet.
Take a first sip and let the coffee flow all through your mouth. There is a pleasant mix of both full, sweet fragrant flavors and bitter ones that coexist in perfect harmony. The bitter flavors fade almost immediately while the sweetness remains in a pleasing sensation that lingers for a long time.
