The layer that forms on top of each brewed coffee is a combination of coffee and air called the crema, and is naturally created during the extraction process. Crema is a sign of high quality coffee, and has been a signature feature of our espresso. It does not contain any dairy or additives and will gradually subside as you enjoy your coffee.
As each blend brews according to its own unique parameters, there is no way to adjust the amount of crema that forms.
With all VertuoLine Coffees and Altos, we recommend folding in the crema before drinking. This releases the aromas, alters the texture, and mixes the layers to create a unique and flavorful beverage.
