Description
Fill a 6-cup stovetop espresso maker with water and coffee according to the manufacture instructions.
Tamp down the coffee.
Place the espresso maker over moderate heat.
While the coffee is brewing, prepare the crema.
Place ¼ cup sugar in a tall container with a spout (e.g. a liquid measuring cup).
As soon as the coffee starts to fill the reservoir of the stovetop espresso maker, pour about ½ tablespoon of coffee over the sugar in the tall container, and return the espresso maker to the heat.
Using a spoon, beat the sugar and ½ tablespoon of espresso well until the mixture turns a pale beige color, and most of the sugar begins to dissolve, approximately 1 minute.
Once the coffee has been brewed, slowly pour the coffee over the creamed sugar, stirring until all the remaining sugar granules dissolve.
A thin layer of sugar foam (crema) should float on top of the coffee.
Pour the coffee into espresso cups and serve immediately.
