Ahhh, crema. The coffee shop on my corner won't serve espresso without its perfect crown of crema (a good way to determine if your coffee shop is worth its beans). There's even a site with amazingly sexy photos of crema dripping from the espresso maker. Yum.

A couple of must-haves for good crema: a burr grinder for your beans; hot tools; proper tamping; and freshly roasted coffee.Mark Frauenfelder searches for the perfect crema
