Description:

Espresso is a strong, concentrated coffee brewed by forcing hot water under high pressure through finely-ground coffee beans. It is the foundation for many coffee drinks, including lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos. Espresso has a rich, bold flavor and a thick consistency, often topped with a layer of crema, a golden foam formed from the coffee's oils. Typically served in small quantities, around 1 ounce per shot, espresso is enjoyed either on its own or as a base for more complex beverages. It is popular worldwide, especially in Italian coffee culture, and is known for its robust and intense taste.
