How do I improve the crema?
• Use fresher coffee: the crema will diminish as the coffee gets older or if it is not stored correctly. Freshness can be improved by grinding your own beans just before making your coffee. • Get the grind texture of your coffee correct: ground too coarsely the water flows through the coffee too quickly drawing out little flavour. The correct grind should slow the flow of the water through the coffee to about 20-30 seconds and look like a golden honey like flow.
