IperEspresso
iperEspresso is a single-serve capsule system for preparing espresso coffee and espresso-based drinks, developed and patented by Illy. Capsules iperEspresso capsules contain a complete extraction group that replaces the traditional percolation process with a two-stage extraction. In the first stage, ''iper-infusion'', hot water under pressure creates conditions that bring out coffee flavor and aroma. In the second stage, emulsification, the iper-infusion is forced through the valve at the bottom of the capsule, by mixing the aromatic oils with air to produce cream. iperEspresso capsules are manufactured only by Illy. The cost per serving is 10% higher than Illy E.S.E pods, and twice higher than Illy ground or whole bean non-encapsulated coffee. Each capsule contains approximately 7 grams of coffee.

Espresso
Espresso (, ) is a concentrated form of coffee produced by forcing hot water under high pressure through finely ground coffee beans. Originating in Italy, espresso has become one of the most popular coffee-brewing methods worldwide. It is characterized by its small serving size, typically 25–30 ml, and its distinctive layers: a dark body topped with a lighter-colored foam called "crema". Espresso machines use pressure to extract a highly concentrated coffee with a complex flavor profile in a short time, usually 25–30 seconds. The result is a beverage with a higher concentration of suspended and dissolved solids than regular drip coffee, giving espresso its characteristic body and intensity. While espresso contains more caffeine per unit volume than most coffee beverages, its typical serving size results in less caffeine per serving compared to larger drinks such as drip coffee. Espresso serves as the base for other coffee drinks, including cappuccino, Latte, caffè latte, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
