I too am like James ...Tip of the hat to you guys! <br /><br />I too am like James when you showed us how you were skimming the Americano at the 2008 WBC and I never took that ball and ran with it...<br /><br />It is so obvious it kills me, when I think about my early years learning to drink coffee, a big part of it was learning to "deal" with crema, as far as taste is concerned, why did I not think to skim it off years ago?!!<br /><br />Still like you said, it is a something we will still have to work with.<br /><br />Nice work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951569058978898045.post-78045354626063294022009-07-06T23:09:28.314+02:002009-07-06T23:09:28.314+02:00Klaus, have you folks experimented yet with taking...Klaus, have you folks experimented yet with taking the crema off at different stages of the espresso shots' settling? ie, skimming 10 secs after a shot, skimming 30 seconds after a shot, etc? Crema dissipates and seems to dissolve - both into the air (co2 bubbles collapsing, evaporating etc) and in the cup.<br /><br />Lotta other things to think about too - for eg, is it the c02 itself that contributes to the 'off tastes' in the crema?<br /><br />Or is the excessive bitters actually part of the balance contribution to the overall cup? Some crema may contribute positively, other may not?<br /><br />(btw, I haven't read the other Coffee Collective entries on this yet, just seen James's vidblog, so apologies if you already discuss these things)Markhttp://www.coffeegeek.comnoreply@blogger.com
