What should the perfect espresso be like?

An outstanding espresso should have a beautiful balance of sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.  

- Sweetness makes the cup pleasant and rich.

- Acidity adds brightness and complexity.

- Bitterness should be gentle and supportive, never overwhelming.

- It should have a creamy, velvety texture.

- Every espresso served should match in taste, volume, temperature, and appearance.

- A beautiful, uniform crema (the golden layer on top) signals a well-executed extraction.
