EnglishEspresso quality attracts the interest of many stakeholders: from consumers to local business activities, from coffee-machine vendors to international coffee industries.

| Abstract: | Espresso quality attracts the interest of many stakeholders: from consumers to local business act...ivities, from coffee-machine vendors to international coffee industries. So far, it has been mostly addressed by means of human experts, electronic noses, and chemical approaches. The current work, instead, proposes a datadriven analysis exploiting time-series feature engineering.We analyze a real-world dataset of espresso brewing by professional coffee-making machines. The novelty of the proposed work is provided by the focus on the brewing time series, from which we propose to engineer features able to improve previous data-driven metrics determining the quality of the espresso. Thanks to the exploitation of the proposed features, better quality-evaluation predictions are achieved with respect to previous data-driven approaches that relied solely on metrics describing each brewing as a whole (e.g., average flow, total amount of water).
