Crema on top of your coffee is produced when you use fresh roasted coffee beans with correct espresso extraction technique. Crema is the golden foam that sits onto of the dark espresso base. A technique to produce maximum crema on your coffee is to pre-heat your coffee machine for around 30 minutes, then dose your coffee into your coffee machines portafilter basket and tamp with consistent and even pressure. A good trick is to tap the coffee basket on the bench half way through your coffee dosing to settle the grinds prior to tamping.
Best results will come from using a coffee bean specifically blended to create maximum crema in your coffee, such as my Super Crema coffee using a base of coffee beans from the Monsoon Malabar.
