Cafe Esspresso

Espresso, also known as café Espresso, is made by forcing hot water under very high pressure through very finely ground coffee, resulting in a more concentrated coffee drink. The result of this high pressure technique creates a drink that is much more concentrated that the typical cup of coffee.

Because of the strength of the drink, an espresso is often used to make other forms of coffee drinks, such as mochas and lattes. One of the more important things when making an espresso is the temperature at which it is served. It is best to use the shot of espresso within 2 or 3 minutes in order to insure quality and taste.
