Correct Transcript:

Making a perfect cup of espresso is an art that begins with selecting the right blend of coffee beans. The beans should be finely ground to ensure the flavour is fully extracted. Next, the water must be heated to just the right temperature before it's pressed through the coffee. The ideal pour should take about 25 seconds, resulting in a rich crema on top. Finally, it's essential to serve the espresso immediately to preserve its aroma and taste, making it an unforgettable experience for the drinker.

Printed "grounded", the speaker says "ground"

Explanation: Listen again to "finely ground to ensure". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "pressured", the speaker says "pressed"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "it's pressed through". Both words start the same and they end the same, so listen for the middle.

Printed "results", the speaker says "resulting"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "25 seconds, resulting in". The spoken word is much longer, so listen for the extra part.

Printed "unforget", the speaker says "unforgettable"

Explanation: The speaker says "making it an unforgettable experience", not "unforget". The printed word does not make sense here, so trust the audio.

"espresso" matches the audio

Explanation: "cup of espresso is an art" uses a common coffee word. It may look formal, but the audio matches it exactly, so do not click it.

"crema" matches the audio

Explanation: "a rich crema on top" has a short foreign word that may seem odd. It matches the audio exactly, so do not click it.
