E.S.E - EASY SERVING ESPRESSO

The most important trend in the consumer market is the use of the easy serving espresso or pod, marketed with the label E.S.E. Coffee servings are an innovative system designed for absolute simplicity in the preparation of Espresso coffee. Seven grams of coffee are compressed into a practical filter package. The E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) system is ideal for guaranteeing the level of quality of the product and is now a brand protected by the Italian ''Consortium for Development'' and the protective measure of the E.S.E. trade standard. At home, in the office, wherever, thanks to the E.S.E. standard, it is possible to enjoy the delicious flavor of a quality Espresso, the unmistakable aroma of an Espresso made to perfection.

The E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) standard is made up of a specifically modified espresso machine and pre-packaged single serivngs of coffee: E.S.E. servings.

The Grace Espresso machine has a uniquely-shaped extraction chamber in which the E.S.E. serving is placed. These two things result in a superb tasting cup of espresso.

Specific technical parameters for such fundamental characteristics as water temperature and pressure have been developed to guarantee a consistent level of quality. The Grace espresso machine which uses the E.S.E. trademark adheres to the above mentioned standards.

The E.S.E. serving is a pre-packaged individual portion of roasted, ground, and pressed coffee, sealed between two layers of filter paper.

It is specially-shaped to fit perfectly inside the extraction chamber of the E.S.E. espresso machine, the Grace espresso machine. The amount of coffee, its grind, and the degree to which it is pressed have all been specifically defined to ensure a perfect cup of espresso.

Besides guaranteeing a consistent level of quality, the E.S.E. standard is considerably cleaner than traditional methods of preparing espresso because there is no need to handle the coffee grounds.
