How to Make the Perfect Espresso w/ Sal Foto of Lavazza (VIDEO)

If you’re anything like me, the day doesn’t start until you’ve had coffee. It’s the turbo-charge to my vehicle, and as an ex-expat of Italy, I’m always on the hunt for the perfect cup. Espresso can be a finicky and fun thing to perfect, but we were lucky enough to catch up with our friend Salvatore Foto, the training manager at Lavazza Premium Coffee, who shared his insider knowledge on mastering the espresso shot. (Thanks a latté, Salvatore!) When made properly, the result is a rich little cup of bittersweet aromas with a pleasant, lingering after-taste.

Lavazza is the perfect example of everything good espresso should be. As a family-owned Italian accomplishment, they’ve been grinding coffee beans for over a century, and remain committed to excellence in every step of the production. Working to improve the living conditions and economic growth of farming communities, the habitability of the land, and to develop ecological production methods, Lavazza is socially responsible with the added promise of “Italian passion in every cup.”
