Title: Method for extracting espresso coffee particularly from a cartridge with crema generating septum, and beverage obtainable from the method
Inventor: SUGGI LIVERANI FURIO
IPC: A47J31/00
Filed: 2007-02-07
Abstract: A method for extracting an espresso coffee beverage by means of an espresso coffee machine, comprising: a) a step for providing an extraction chamber, which comprises a dose of roasted and ground espresso coffee and a normally-closed septum which is arranged downstream of the coffee dose; b) a step for injecting hot water into the chamber, outward dispensing of the beverage being prevented through the normally-closed septum; c) an extraction step in which, when the water pressure reaches a preset value, the partition is opened in order to force the beverage to pass through a small orifice before it is dispensed into the cup, the size of the orifice being such as to keep the dose of coffee contained in the extraction chamber at a substantially uniform pressure along the direction of the flow of hot water, so that the espresso coffee beverage extracted through the orifice comprises crema. The espresso coffee obtainable with the method comprises a crema which has a bubble diameter distribution which is substantially uniform in the 20- 150 micron interval.
