Explanation:

Crema is the Italian word and is very commonly used in English too, but is almost exclusively (if not exclusively) associated with espresso coffee rather than the coffee from a regular coffee machine.
Here’s a good example of the problem with searching the glossaries. If you search under Search Glossaries, you come up with zilch. But the term is found in “KudoZ search.”

with a perfect crema

Espresso is at its very best in a bar, because it should be served at the moment it's made. A professional machine forces hot water (just above 90 degrees, never boiling) through a compact cake of perfectly ground roast coffee. This process emulsifies the oils to produce a viscous, almost syrupy, extract topped with a golden foam known as crema, a compact layer of tiny bubbles that seals in coffee aromas.
