What it is and what sets it apart: Crema is CO₂ + emulsified oils. Distinct from true body/mouthfeel: pretty crema can hide a bad shot.
How it’s perceived or evaluated: Check colour, persistence and tiger striping. Always validate by taste. Review freshness and distribution.
Flavours, benefits or impact: Gives immediate aroma and initial texture. Limited impact if flavour fails.
Technical notes: Roast, species (robusta adds more) and pressure matter. Modern specialty does not judge by thick crema alone.
Common mistakes: Do not choose coffee only for abundant crema. Lack of crema is not always a fail.
