“Crema” is the lovely layer of thickly effervescent foam that defines well-crafted espresso, an emulsion of the essential oils contained in the coffee. This presence of a thick layer of richly aromatic, reddish brown crema indicates that all culinary factors were met satisfactorily during the preparation of the shot. Espresso is all in the nose. The aroma of espresso lives in the crema so swirl it around. Get your nose right down in there. Inhale deeply.

Prospective customers:

If you have found this site then you are no doubt a connoisseur of coffee and with us in the crusade against poor coffee in, OR you deeply enjoy the coffee experience, and want to learn more about the process.

We have the high-minded ambition of raising an appreciation of coffee in Denver, in the same way that wine is appreciated today.

Crema is an artisanal coffeehouse; meaning that we look at coffee as  both a craft and an art form. The coffee at Crema is made with either a French press or with a lever espresso machine.  French press coffee creates a smooth, pure coffee flavor using a simple but effective process that doesn’t pass through a filter so you don’t lose those natural aromatic coffee oils. Most coffee lovers agree that this process creates a superior cup of coffee. So it is with lever espresso machines, known for their compelling simplicity of design and the unique flavor profile of the beverage they produce. Lever espresso machines are manual brewing devices that use a lever to push down a piston, which provides the right amount of pressure needed to brew espresso. The espresso making process of lever machines favors slow, thoughtful movements, an almost Zen-like moment of calm, focused creation. Pulling a perfect espresso shot from a lever espresso machine is a truly rewarding experience. The barista actually becomes a part of the brewing process. Lever machines also offer old world style and craftsmanship with the ability to brew exquisite espresso.

Crema Coffee House has been established by Noah Price in Denver to introduce consumers to the distinguished experience that fine coffee offers when crafted with the most limited amount of additives as possible (too much sugar, milk, cream, syrup, etc.) Most additives are simply a cloak under which to hide inferior coffee. Crema chooses to utilize only vanilla syrup, the finest caramel sauce and a single origin Ghana chocolate to accentuate the coffee’s flavor rather than mask it.

Coffee should convey to you the terroir of the land on which it was grown, and when properly prepared it is truly a symphony of the most exotic flavors on the planet.

Give Crema a try – It is our hope that your experience here will deepen your appreciation of the fine art of coffee.

Thank you for visiting.
