Can anyone tell me what an Espresso is?>?

Question

What is an Espresso?

Answer 1

a 1oz shot of concentrated coffee, about 160mg caffeine compared to 110mg for a 6oz coffee

Answer 2

the key difference with espresso is it is made by forcing water through finely ground coffee, i.e. under pressure.  In simple terms this means a lot more flavour is extracted from the coffee than non pressurised methods achieve.

note:  using more coffee in a non-pressurised method of preparation will not give you an espresso, it will simply give you strong coffee.

Answer 3

espresso is like coffee but much more stronger since your getting to full coffee essence.
