Making an espresso does have a lot of temperature science behind it. If there are small fluctuations in the temperature that could change everything. The optimal range for espresso is 90 to 96 degrees C. Data shows that the higher the temperature is the higher the extraction of caffeine there will be. Depending on the type of bean is also something to look at when you are temping out your espresso. Make sure you don’t over pack or under pack.
Key Takeaways:
- Typically, the temperature that espresso is usually brewed at is around 90 to 96c
- There have been studies and the data shows that higher temperatures will have a higher extraction yield.
- Temperature and extraction yield is a finicky thing to get right. It takes practice.
“Aspects like roast age and roast level affect how the brew temperature will interact with the coffee during extraction.”
