Do you know about espresso?

It's the Italia coffee and it's very tasty,you will love it. This post will talk about the Italia's coffee factoflife for everyones who wnat to know that facts.

What is espresso? Espresso is coffee brewed by forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water under pressure through finely ground coffee beans. Espresso is generally thicker than coffee brewed by other methods, has a higher concentration of suspended and dissolved solids, and has crema on top (a foam with a creamy consistency). As a result of the pressurized brewing process, the flavors and chemicals in a typical cup of espresso are very concentrated. Let's check out our list of interesting espresso coffee facts to  know more about Italian espressocoffee, espresso beans, espresso cups, machines. Drink facts

Italian espresso coffee facts

Espresso facts

Get your funny jokes while drink that coffee.

#1

Despite the mechanics of the machines used to make espresso, many coffee lovers will tell you that making the perfect espresso is as much an art as it is a science. 

#2

There are four factors to consider when it comes to making a great shot of traditional, Italianespresso: macinazione (or, the proper grinding of the beans), miscela (the coffee blend), macchina (the machine), and finally mano, literally "hand," meaning the person actually manning the machine. If we’re talking true Italian espresso, these four M’s are an absolute must.

#3

Espresso has no set taste. Just like wine, there are different elements that come together to develop the taste of a cup of espresso. Different regions' beans, the amount of water, the pressure used, and the crema (the thin layer of foam formed by the pressurized coffee going into the cup) are all factors in how an espresso will taste. The term espresso refers to just the style of preparation.

#4

It doesn’t have more Caffeine than traditional drip coffee. Espresso is a concentrated version of coffee, so it does have more caffeine per unit volume, but the serving size is much smaller. The smaller the cup, the smaller amount of caffeine.

#5

It has three components. The crema (or top layer that is thin, sweet, and foamy), the body, and the heart make up the components. The heart is the bottom of the shot that contains the bitterness commonly associated with espresso.

#6

It was invented in the early 1900s. During Italy’s Industrial Revolution, factory bosses wanted to shorten coffee breaks for workers they felt were dilly-dallying over too big a cup. Eager to answer solve the problem, Luigi Bezzerra built a machine that could make a concentrated cup of coffee in as little as 30 seconds. The pour was shorter but the taste and power were much stronger. That is when the first single-serve espresso machine was created.

#7

It will start to lose flavor within minutes of being brewed. This is why many Europeans drinkespresso like a shot rather than sip it like coffee.

#8

It’s regulated by the Italian government. This is because it is considered an essential part of the country’s daily lifestyle. It’s as simple as that. In order to regulate it, the government simply oversees its consumption and prices. Standing at the bar? Good, because the cost ofespresso is a lot more expensive if you ask to sit at a table.

#9

Not just any cup will do when making and drinking espresso. The cup should be larger than 2 ounces, which is enough to hold a one and a half ounce pour of espresso (or one shot). If a cup is too large, the espresso will cool down too quickly.

#10

The ideal brewing temperature for Espresso is 190 Degrees F. And, to serve a perfect espresso, your porcelain cup should be warmed to between 160 and 165 degrees. Careful, it’s hot!

#11

There is no such thing as an Espresso bean. Espresso is actually a type of brew that forces high-temperature water through finely ground beans. You can make espresso out of anycoffee beans, as long as they’re dark roasted. The grind and preparation are what makes itespresso.

This is similar to how DSLR cameras do things and it can give photographers better control over what their photos are going to look like.

Camera JB+ [Price: $1.99]

Camera JB+ reviews: It is a remake of the stock camera from Android Jelly Bean. It features a simple layout that really lets you just point and shoot like you could back in the old days. It includes camera, video capture, and panorama mode along with things like live effects, burst mode, picture quality settings, and 4K video support (if your phone camera supports 4K). It’s a good experience, especially if you need something really easy. The developer has also done Camera KK (KitKat) and Camera ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) if you’re interested in those.

Camera MX [Price: Free]

Camera MX is one of the older camera apps that has been around for awhile but has managed to remain relevant. It boasts a bunch of features, including a Live Shot mode, scene modes, support for 16:9 aspect ratios, and it has a variety of photo and video editing tools that let you adjust things like brightness, rotation, contrast, saturation, temperature, and others. It doesn’t have the manual controls that more serious photographers look for, but it’s more than good enough for non-pros looking to get a good shot.

Camera Zoom FX  [Price: Free with in-app purchases / $0.99]

Camera Zoom FX is another one of the camera apps that have been around for a long time. It was good back then, but has improved over time by adding things like manual camera controls (ISO, focus, shutter speed, etc) and RAW capture support. On top of that, it has HDR, time lapse, 360-degree panorama photos, live effects, and a variety of post processing effects to make your photos really pop. It’s a good mix of “pro” and “Instagram” and should be good enough for people who want manual camera stuff, but also want filters too.

Candy Camera [Price: Free with in-app purchases]

Candy Camera wasn’t around a couple of years ago, but it’s already one of the most popular camera apps ever with over 100 million installs. Feature-wise, it’s pretty decent and includes a ton of filters with simple swipe gestures to switch between them, various editing tools (including unusual stuff like concealer and lipstick options), stickers, collage mode, and more. It could definitely use some manual camera controls and RAW support, but it’s still pretty decent without them.

Cardboard Camera [Price: Free]

Cardboard Camera is about the only competent 360-degree photo camera available right now. It’s meant to be used with Google Cardboard and allows you to take 360-degree photos that can be viewed in VR. The app itself will help you take the photos and also provides a gallery that lets you find and view your 360-degree image content. It’s completely free to use and while VR photography is a tad niche, it’s really nice that there is a decent app to take those kind of photos.

Somes best Camera Apps For Android

As the de facto point-and-shoot camera reviewer for CNET, I spend a lot of time living in the world of automatic snapshots and easy post-shoot editing. While I can tell you several ways aseparate point-and-shoot is better than a smartphone camera (and not just in picture quality), I'd be a lying liar if I said I never use my smartphone's camera when I'm shooting.

I'm regularly hunting for new apps that will allow me to do more and work efficiently. For a long time, though, it seemed like there was a complete lack of decent camera apps forAndroid. I remember trying to pull together a list of apps I liked about this time last year and I could barely come up with five. That's not the case anymore.

These are the dozen camera apps that I use most frequently, which I guess makes them my favorites. I have others that I use for various things (which I've mentioned in with my other picks below), but I keep coming back to these.

The links will take you to these apps' pages on CNET's Download.com, where many of them have full reviews from Associate Editor Jaymar Cabebe. If I missed one of your favorites -- whether it's for editing, shooting, both, or neither -- please let me know in the comments.

Camera Zoom FX

This $2.99 app calls itself the ultimate Android camera app, and really it is. It's certainly the most feature-filled, handling both shooting and editing duties from one interface.

And while I find them a bit corny, there are a bunch of free expansion packs for sticking celebrities or props in your photos.

Also worth checking out in this category is Vignette. While I don't like its interface and work flow as much as Camera Zoom FX's, it is loaded with features and the only thing that's held back for the $3.99 Pro version is the ability to use resolutions above 0.8 megapixel.

If you don't want to spend the money for either of those, check outCamera360 or PicsArt, which have similar features, but they're free.

Little Photo

Little Photo is nice because the work flow is pretty fast.

Open the app, tap the screen to shoot, and then tap your shot to open a vertical list of editing tools, filters, and effects with live previews as you select them.

It's free, but a $3.85 plug-in adds tools like cropping and contrast, exposure, and saturation controls.

Pudding Camera

Like Urbian's Retro Camera, the free Pudding Camera app from KTH offers several different camera types as well as films that you can combine for your desired effect. You also get quick exposure control, support for front-facing cameras, and tap-to-shoot.

The biggest problem I have with it is that your largest photo resolution is 1,280 pixels, but that's fine for sharing online.

Along the same lines as Pudding Camera is Cymera, a camera app from SK Communications. The interface is nice and snappy, and it has plenty of editing options after you shoot. It is, however, tied into SK Comm's Korean social network, Cyworld, and every time you start the app, it asks you to log in. You can choose not to and use the app, but it's an extra step that might get to you after awhile. Plus, it's limited to a maximum resolution of 1,024 pixels. It's free, though, so checking it out won't cost you anything.

BeFunky PhotoEditor

If you're just looking for a good, free photo editor, BeFunky's is solid and ad-free.

Everything you expect to find for fine-tuning your shots before you share them is here and easy to use.

The $3.99 Pro version more than doubles the number of effects, but, as with my next pick, the selection that's offered for free should be enough for most.

Aviary Photo Editor

Aviary isn't an app, but I included it here because it's free and works well. It's actually a plug-in that adds itself to the Share options on your phone. You take a photo with whatever app you want or open a photo and tap your Share icon. Select Aviary from the list and it opens up a window of editing options.

There are plenty of tools to work with -- everything from quick crops to teeth whitening -- as well as filters and effects. Aviary sells a couple of expansion packs of six effects each for 99 cents a pop, but the free stuff is all I've ever used.

PicSay Pro

If you're going to pay for a photo editor, I'd go with PicSay Pro. It's only $3.99, but it's one of the easiest editing apps you're going to find.

Open a picture and select what you want to do: Adjust, Effect, or Stickers. It then pops a tiny thumbnail of your shot up next to your editing options, giving you a little preview. It's particularly handy with its long, long list of effects.

However, if all you're after is a ton of effects, download the free Pixlr-o-matic. The interface lets you quickly apply various filters, lighting effects, and frames to see how each looks before you save and share. And if you're not satisfied with the selection it comes with, there are several additional packs to download for free.

AfterFocus

Basically, this allows you to fake a shallow depth of field. Or, more accurately, it lets you blur out distracting backgrounds, bringing your subject into sharper focus -- all with a couple swipes of your finger.

You shouldn't be afraid to dive on in; it's a fairly easy app to get started with. But, if you'd like to see how to use it before you get started, here's a how-to from CNET's Nicole Cozma.

Paper Camera

If you've never used Paper Camera, you should. It's really a pretty incredible app that gives you a live view of a variety of simulated drawn or painted effects, such as turning your subject into a cartoon or line drawing. It can be a little slow to perform depending on the device you're using, but the results are great. Plus, you can use it for photos and video.

Fast Burst Camera

If there is a must-have camera app for people with small children, this is it. Fast Burst can shoot at up to 30 frames per second, triggered just by pressing and holding an onscreen shutter release or anywhere on the screen if you like. As you shoot, you basically get a little fuel gauge in the corner as your buffer memory (which is adjustable) fills up. Once it starts to empty, you can start shooting again.

There is a free Lite version, but for $3.99 you get support for flash, focus, and digital zoom, and the shutter sound can be turned off, which otherwise sounds like a machine gun when it starts snapping off shots.

Pro HDR Camera

There are a couple of reasons to use an HDR (high dynamic range) app. Smartphone cameras don't always produce the best dynamic range when shooting high-contrast subjects. HDR apps help balance things out by taking photos at different exposures and then combining them into one shot for a more even exposure. However, you can also use HDR to creative effect. Pro HDR lets you do both. For a how-to, check out CNET editor Sharon Vaknin's post on HDR photography for smartphones.

The big problem with HDR using smartphone cameras is that they don't focus and shoot fast enough to work with moving subjects. Even slight movements will screw up the results, so HDR is best used on scenery and stationary subjects. Another app, simply called HDR Camera, does a decent job of dealing with slight movements by removing ghosting.

Imageotag

If you want the most geotagging data for your photos or other purposes, Imageotag records everything. It captures 16:9 geotagged images, embedding GPS and NET location, accelerometer, bearing, compass, date, light lux, magnetic field, pitch, proximity, roll, speed, temperature, and time data. If I'm out shooting with a regular camera and want to get the correct info for my location, I just take a quick shot of my location with this app and tag my photos later using its data. Imageotag also creates Google Earth tours using GPS image sequences.

Wondershare Panorama

One of my favorite point-and-shoot camera features is the option to quickly capture panoramas simply by sweeping the camera. That's how Wondershare's app works: just point, shoot, and sweep. It can be used in portrait or landscape mode and has several effects options that can be applied immediately after the capture is complete. It's free, too, which helps one overlook its lack of size and resolution options.

If you really like to take ultrawide shots, I recommend Photaf Panorama Pro. It requires a bit more effort since you have to line up an onscreen ghost image of your previous shot to take your full shot. But it fires the camera automatically when it's properly aligned and you can take a full 360-degree shot.

There is a free version, but the $3.99 Pro version lets you set panoramas as live wallpaper and has an HD mode for better results, and you can use your camera in portrait mode. Visit Photaf's site to see a gallery of shots taken with the app.

9 TO SHOOT BETTER PHOTOS IN ANDROID

When a moment is gone, it’s gone forever, and all that remains are the photos we take as a reminder. As our phones increasingly become our go-to devices for capturing these memories, it's important that they can do that to the best of their abilities. Ensure your Android camera is as good as it can be, with our list of the best camera apps for Android. 

ProShot

While its interface might take a little while to learn to navigate, it is slim and attractive, one of the best looking available. The grid overlay is also a useful thing to have and there are two kinds of on-screen levels, as well, to help make sure you're shooting straight.

The usual manual controls can be found here – ISO, exposure, focus, white balance – and there are some fun additions, too, like the Light Painting mode that lets you see your photos develop on screen with motion blur. The in-built gallery also displays ISO and shutter speeds for each picture you've taken. 

Try out the demo version, and if the interface works for you, picking up the pro version will be $5 well spent. The developer is also very engaged and keen to handle any questions or problems you might have.

Camera FV-5

FV-5 also offers grid overlays, histograms and the like, but they're tucked away in the menus, making them less accessible than through ProShot's interface. You're afforded full control over ISO, light-metering, focus, white balance and the like. There's also an exposure bracketing feature that allows you take several photos in quick succession with different exposure values, letting you review them and choose the best to keep.

It's cheaper than ProShot, and worth considering alongside that and Manual Camera (see below) if you're after high-quality manual control.

Open Camera

When you want a lightweight and fast camera app, Open Camera is the best choice out there. It's completely free and contains almost all the adjustment options you might need, such as manual focus, ISO and exposure time (assuming you have the Android 5.0 Camera2 APIs, which come with Android Lollipop).

What's particularly great about this app is that it has a widget you can add to your home screen, which will open the app and taken a picture with a single press. This is useful if you need to quickly grab a picture of something without needing it to look great. Otherwise, the options provided in the app will help you get your pictures looking just the way you want.

Google Camera

Google's own camera app offers a clean and simple interface with few manual settings (no ISO, white balance or filters, for instance). It has Photo Sphere and Panorama modes, which work on a fun follow-the-dots mechanism, and Lens Blur, which creates a depth of field effect by taking a photo and then having you slowly raise your device – the app takes in from there, creating a blurred background for the object of focus to stand out against.

The results with the Photo Sphere setting range from interesting to very impressive. When it works perfectly, you end up with a seamless 360-degree photo you can move your screen to look around.

The app does seem to have a variety of problems on various devices, with many users reporting frequent crashes, but it's worth giving it a go, because it can produce some great results when it works right.

VSCO Cam

VSCO Cam isn't the most user-friendly camera on our list. Despite its often minimal layout, it takes a while just to learn which menu you're in. But it is one of the best Android camera apps thanks to the amount of customization it offers, and the quality of its adjustments. 

VSCO Cam combines a camera with editing and sharing functions to provide an Instagram-like experience, only more powerful. While it doesn't house a one-click 'beautify' option, it more than makes up for it with its premium temperature, tint, contrast and sharpen gauges.

  

A Better Camera

A Better Camera is basically what it says it is: a superior camera app to the standard Android ones. A Better Camera brings a number of interesting features, including Bestshot, which takes a number of photos in succession and then provides you with the least blurred, most impressive one. It's a simple idea but it works incredibly well.

A Better Camera also includes immediate post-processing, something that is absent in the camera apps from Sony, Samsung and co, and you can record video with real-time HDR. Unfortunately, many of the app's best functions are only available via in-app purchase, so A Better Camera sometimes feels a bit like an annoying free-to-play game at times.

However, if you take a lot of pictures, and are happy with a little investment, A Better Camera certainly lives up to its name — and more camera apps should make use of its slide-out grid gesture.

 

Camera360 Ultimate

Camera360 is hugely popular in the Google Play Store. It offers a comprehensive camera app that's capable of pretty much anything. It uses a lens-filter system that can be applied before a picture is taken, meaning you don't have to wait until later to see whether your picture is fixable by adding a cheeky filter. It contains a huge variety of options and effects, even if they aren't allentirely useful.

It's easy to use, though, and presents most of the important dials on the same screen, so you can adjust multiple settings at the same time. This is something which other cameras lack, but it's really useful to have everything in one place instead of going through several different screens. 

Manual Camera

Most camera apps are designed to make photography as easy as possible for the end-user. This results in some Facebook-friendly snapshots, but certainly not professional pictures. Experienced photographers may be more at home with Manual Camera, which provides a range of settings options that most other apps just don't offer. 

Shutter speed, focus, white balance, exposure compensation – you get to control every detail of your picture. This app also lets you save images in the lossless RAW format, which offers completely new possibilities for further processing.

So, if you take photographs pretty seriously, but still want to use your smartphone, Manual Camera is an excellent solution. But beware, the app does require the many new APIs from Android 5.0 Lollipop, so it's currently only available to users who've received the update.

Pixr Express — Effect Express

Pixr Express — Effect Express needs to be used in conjunction with another camera app, because it’s just an image editor. But boy what an editor. You’ll be hard pressed to find more image editing options anywhere on Android; the ones here range from the strange low-poly and fire effects, to the typical gamut of photo fixers and alterations.

It has the option of automatic image correction, and adjustments such as heal, focus and splash, it feels like a near-Photoshop level experience. Some of the effects and features are more useful than others, I’m not sure 'stickers' were ever a good idea for photo-editing, but there is plenty to tinker with to get your pictures looking polished. You can also add text to your photos with a number of different font-styles.

It comes with a photo editor that includes some unique features, including editing tools for skin, hair, eyes, and more to make selfies really pop. It doesn’t have manual camera controls which is bit of a shame, but everything else works very well.

DSLR Camera Pro

[Price: $2.99]

DSLR camera pro tries emulate the experience you’d have on a DSLR camera. It comes with the general manual camera controls, including ISO, white balance, exposure compensation, and a live RGB histogram. On top of that, it comes with some unique stuff like a two-state shutter button function where you press to focus and then release to take a photo and the ability to use the volume rocker as a shutter button. There isn’t a free version, so you’ll have to buy it and try it inside of its refund time, but it’s a positive experience overall.

GO Camera

[Price: Free with in-app purchases]

GO has a ton of apps and one of their more recent forays has been into the camera apps market. Ironically, given how “bloated” many of their apps can feel, GO Camera is actually rather simple. It comes with real-time filters, HDR mode, a lens blur mode, and filters specifically for those who like to take selfies. It also comes with a built-in photo editor that comes with some basic tools to patch things up if need be. It’s simple, easy, and it works pretty well.

Google Camera

[Price: Free]

Google Camera wasn’t always one of the best camera apps, but it has been improving dramatically over the years. It features a simple interface that should be easy to use for just about everyone. It comes with a few features including auto-HDR+, slow motion video capture, SmartBurst (burst mode), lens blur mode, wide angle mode, panorama mode, and photo sphere mode. It’s not overly feature heavy, which is great if you need something simple and clean.

Manual Camera

[Price: $2.99]

When Android Lollipop came out, it included the camera2 API which allowed for stuff like manual camera controls. At the time, no camera apps actually used it until Manual Camera came along. This app is very simple and really only includes a camera interface that lets you use manual controls. That includes shutter speed, focus distance, ISO, white balance, and exposure compensation. It also has RAW capture. It has virtually no other features, which makes it a great option for photographers that don’t want any nonsense. The only downside is that there isn’t a free version to try first, but there is a free compatibility test you can run to make sure the app will work on your phone.

Open Camera

[Price: Free]

Open Camera is one of the only fully featured and free camera apps that is also open source. It includes quite a few features, including auto-stabilization, manual camera controls, various camera modes to take specialized shots, voice controls, and it even has support for some external microphones if you’re looking for something more professional. Again, it’s completely free, open source, and it doesn’t even include advertising.

Paper Camera

[Price: $0.99]

Paper Camera is a long-time favorite camera app for a lot of people. It’s a relatively simple app that takes a picture of your subject and gives it a filter that makes it look like a drawing on paper. You can adjust the contrast to make the images colorful or black and white if you wish and there are also brightness settings depending on how bright you want the image to be. It’s not really useful for anything else, but it’s a unique filter that very few camera apps get right. The only downside is that there is no free version to try first.

Snap Camera HDR

[Price: Free trial / $1.99]

Snap Camera HDR is another app that can cater to both amateurs and pro type photographers. It includes all of the manual controls , RAW support, 4K video recording, and HDR mode. It also comes with some fun stuff like various shoot modes, photo and video quality settings, and a photo editor that allows you to make some basic edits. It even includes some unique settings, like turning on your camera LED for low light video recording. It’s simple, but effective, and there is a trial version you can try before you buy it.
