Why the brewing temperature is important

The brewing temperature has a direct influence on the extraction of the coffee aromas. If the water is too hot, the coffee can taste bitter and burnt. If it is too cold, the taste remains flat and unbalanced. The ideal brewing temperature is between 90°C and 95°C. You can fine-tune within this range depending on the type of coffee beans and your personal preference.

The perfect brewing temperature

The ideal brewing temperature for making espresso is typically between 90°C and 95°C (194°F - 203°F). This temperature range is important to ensure that the espresso undergoes proper extraction and flavor development without tasting over-extracted or burnt.

Here are some important aspects of espresso brewing temperature:

- Extraction time: a higher brewing temperature can shorten the extraction time, while a lower temperature can lengthen the extraction time. A typical extraction time for espresso is between 25 and 30 seconds.

- Flavor development: The right temperature helps to extract the flavors from the ground coffee without unwanted bitterness dominating.

- Machine settings: Professional espresso machines often offer the option of adjusting the brewing temperature. For home baristas, the consistency of the temperature can be optimized by a "cooling flush" to ensure that the machine reaches the right temperature before extraction.

- Coffee quality: High quality coffee is sensitive to brewing temperature. Precise temperature control is therefore crucial to achieve the best quality and full flavor potential of espresso.

- Experiment: Depending on the type of coffee, roast profile and personal preferences, baristas can adjust the brewing temperature to achieve the ideal taste. It is important to systematically adjust the temperature and observe the effect on the taste of the espresso.

In summary, the optimum brewing temperature is a key factor in the quality of an espresso. It should be carefully monitored and adjusted to ensure perfect extraction and a balanced flavor profile.
