In the world of motor racing, every tenth of a second counts. At Carrera Café, we apply the same philosophy to every cup. Precision, passion, and performance are at the heart of everything we do.

The starting line

Just as a driver chooses tires based on the track, the quality of your espresso starts with the choice of bean. Opt for a specialty coffee with medium or dark roast, with chocolatey, caramelized, or spicy notes that recall the power of a well-tuned engine. At Carrera Café, our beans are selected with the rigor of an F1 engineer.

The mechanics of extraction

A racing engine is tuned to the tenth of a millimeter. Your espresso deserves the same attention. Here are the essential parameters to master:

• Dose: 18 to 20 grams of finely ground coffee. It’s your fuel, measure it precisely.
• Pressure: 9 bars, like the tires of an F1 car in a tight corner.
• Temperature: 90 to 96 °C. Neither too hot nor too cold, like the thermal management of a racing engine.
• Extraction time: 25 to 30 seconds. Your stopwatch is your best ally.

The podium in your cup

A perfect espresso is recognized by its golden, dense crema, its complex aromas, and the just-right balance between bitterness and sweetness. Like a victory on a circuit, it’s not improvised. It’s prepared, practiced, and perfected. Every extraction is a new race, a new chance to reach perfection.

At Carrera Café, we put all this passion into each of our blends. Explore our range and find the bean that makes your senses roar.
