Agreed! I also think the canister was charged with more than one bulb. 1 leaf of gelatin would be enough to get that effect but it looks like there may even be slightly more. Of course the cream would help stabilize it . Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I also wouldn't class this as MG!Hey folks, heat the mixture and add 2g of Agar Agar, and about 2 and a bit grams of Kappa Carageenan instead of gelatin - and you can have your espresso foam hot.

pretty sure it's standing up mainly because of the N2O they added in the whipped cream charger ... the coffee cream looked pretty liquid when they poured it in.

video maker conveniently leaves out the part where gelatin is added, what an ass

yeah, well MG is really just a fancy shmancy term. all food production involves fiddling with molecules anyway

Did they use lecithin or gelatin for that foam

I dun think Espesso has to add cream in it, if u add cream it does not taste like espresso anymore. the ingredient that Ferran used for the Espesso texture maybe some kind of gum, eg Xanthan gum

its jus a basic base of espresso, plus cream and i think he did add in gelatin and chill the siphon canister b4 dispensing it. correct me if i am wrong. i am guessing he add in gelatin due to the stiff ness of the coffee cream.its not molecular gastronomy.its jus a MG wannabe.
