The spoon
Espresso crema is attractive to look at, but holds the greatest concentration of carbon dioxide and bitter colloids. If you drink the shot straight, the first sip is astringent and the bottom is lighter.
Andrés will give you a spoon and suggest stirring it.
You do not need sugar; stirring simply integrates the layers of coffee so that acidity, sweetness and body are felt in one uniform sip.
