"What Is Espresso? Espresso is an Italian way of making coffee in highly concentrated shots. A single espresso shot is 1 ounce, and a double shot is 2 ounces. Espresso can be sipped in small cups, or used as the base for popular espresso drinks like the Americano, latte, cappuccino, and more. To make espresso, water is forced through finely ground coffee beans at very high pressure. A espresso shot has crema on top: a light brown foam that adds a rich flavor and frothy texture."
Espresso is a concentrated Italian coffee served as 1-ounce single or 2-ounce double shots topped with crema. Multiple home methods can produce espresso-like results, including traditional espresso machines, Moka pots, French press techniques, and portable options. Home espresso enables rich lattes, Americanos, cappuccinos, and other drinks at lower cost than cafes. Bean selection—espresso or dark roast and whole-bean freshness—strongly influences flavor. Proper extraction forces water through finely ground beans at high pressure, producing crema and concentrated flavor. Each method has trade-offs in cost, setup, skill, and kitchen space suitability.
