Bellagio ... perfect espresso

What makes a great espresso?

Beans
Carefully selected for their flavour, aroma and low acid content, freshly roasted and ground immediately before brewing.

Machines
Meticulously clean and maintained, brewing at 8.5bar pressure and 86 degrees in the cup with a brewing time of 25 seconds for an espresso shot.

Persons
The skill of the barista determines if quality beans brewed through a perfect machine result in great espresso. Correct dosing, tamping, pre brewing and extraction all effect the shot, a good barista never rushes what is a labour of love for a skilled master of his craft.
