My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

To make an excellent espresso drink or shot, as espresso is served in small amounts called this, just follow these steps:

1. Grind up roasted dark espresso beans that are oily-looking. Imported Italian Roast blends are the darkest espresso coffee beans and are considered the best to use.
2. Grind these beans until they are fine but not yet a powder. Place these espresso beans into the strainer of your espresso coffee making device. Make sure that the strainer is packed full and hard for maximum taste.
3. Turn your espresso machine on and watch as it drips down. Make sure that a nice layer of foam forms on top of the drink, as the foam is the most delicious part of an espresso drink. This foam is called crema.
4. Drink your espresso soon after it is made. You may want to add some sugar to sweeten the taste but make sure you drink it quick. An espresso that is cold is not truly an espresso.
