Why Use a Crema Filter?
1. Makes Coffee More Appealing
- Sometimes the crema that floats on top can be too thick or bitter for some people.
- Using a crema filter helps filter out a clearer, smoother shot.
2. Balances Flavor
- Filtered coffee has a clean, well-rounded flavor that isn't too strong, bitter, or astringent.
- Suitable for those who prefer a smooth, balanced coffee taste.
3. Suitable for certain coffee menus,
- such as Americanos or menus that require a clear, distinct coffee flavor.
- Removing the crema beforehand gives the drink a beautiful, clear, and unclouded appearance.
4. Enhances the drinking experience.
- Suitable for those who want to try coffee in a different dimension, beyond just espresso.
How to Use a Crema Filter
1. Extract an espresso shot as usual.
- Brew coffee using your coffee maker or existing equipment.
2. Prepare a crema filter.
- Use a filter specifically designed for crema filtering.
3. Pour the coffee shot into the filter.
- The crema will be filtered out.
- The remaining coffee is a lighter coffee.
4. Serve as desired.
- You can drink it straight or use it as a base for other coffee drinks, such as Americanos, iced coffee, etc.
Tip:
- If you want to experience the difference, try a shot with crema first, then try the filtered crema. You'll notice a clearer difference.
- Use it with light to medium roast beans for a more pronounced result.
Summary:
The crema filter cup is a tool that allows you to choose your coffee style, whether you want a rich, creamy taste or a clean, smooth coffee.
