Lichtman is here with our Video Pick of the Week. And it is more
coffee.  FLORA LICHTMAN, BYLINE: Our fabulous coffee series by
the great Jenny Woodward continues on SCIENCE FRIDAY. Drink up,
everybody. This week we're diving into a tiny glass of espresso.
FLATOW: Ooh. Ooh. So small dive.  LICHTMAN: You need to be very
careful. Keep your limbs in.  FLATOW: And why - what's so
fascinating about espresso?  LICHTMAN: Well, one of things that
espresso drinkers will know probably is that when you have an
espresso straight, not a latte, not a cappuccino, just a
straight little mug of espresso, when it comes out to you, it
has this frothy, foamy thing on top. It's a little thin layer of
tiny bubbles. It's a little lighter in color, and it's called
the crema.  FLATOW: Right. I love that stuff. Yeah.  LICHTMAN:
Yes. I always try to get it with a spoon. It's delicious.
FLATOW: Yeah. All right.
