To begin with there are several common errors made when it comes to Espresso coffee .

There are many true or false statements made about this most favored drink. Here are some of the more common misconceptions.

-Many people will mistakenly pronounce the name Expresso when its true name is Espresso.

-There is a general belief that there is a Coffee plant species known as Espresso, which is not true. It is made from the conventional green coffee bean after its has gone through its prepatory stages for consumption.

- Lots of people feel that if they keep their coffee in the freezer they will get a much more superior cup of espresso. This is not true and in fact can produce an inferior cup of what should be superior coffee. The cold makes the oils that are in the coffee beans coagulate. It's these very oils that produce the wonderful taste of espresso coffee and you don't want to weaken them with coagulation.

-Many individuals that have a great love for this beverage will often do it an injustice by serving it in the wrong amounts or in a large mug. Some are of the opinion that coffee is usually served in small coffees because it is so potent. This is not the case. Espresso coffee is at its best when it is able to retain its heat. That is the very purpose of the small cups. In the larger cups the heat dissipates too quickly. When this happens, the foam is also lost and the overall aroma of the espresso suffers. Ideally, the coffee espresso should be served in 1-2oz cups and the cup should be thick china, which helps to hold the heat.

Once the art of preparing this is developed then it becomes possible to consistently present an exquisite cup of this favorite drink.

All too often first time triers of espresso coffee develop a dislike for it assuming it's the variety of coffee that they are not partial to. In many cases it's because it has not been prepared correctly that has made for an inferior quality. Ideally, to be fair before passing judgment on the espresso one should try it at a location that has a reputation for presenting excellence in this beverage. The best of all would be if it if could be tried in Italy where they are renowned for the best espresso in the world.

It's a fallacy to think that because one enjoys a good Arabica coffee that they are going to enjoy it in all of the variations in which it is used. As we have shown, the taste and characters that are brought out vary in the way in which it is prepared. Perhaps these are not the most noted characteristics that you enjoy the most. So if you have tried a coffee variation made with Arabica coffee don't form the opinion that you do not like the coffee itself, it's simply that you don't care for that version of it.
