Did I mention that espresso is the base for some coffee drinks?? So what is espresso anyway? When I first tried it I was shocked because the drink was served in a very small cup! "What the hell is this?" I thought. Then I had a sip and I frowned immediately. The taste was extremely bitter! But, since it was bitter I enjoyed it...
It turned out that the term "espresso" is derived from the Italian word for express since espresso is made for and served immediately to the customer. Espresso coffee provides an intense aroma and flavor experience due to very little amount of water, but no calories. Furthermore, espresso has no more caffeine than regular coffee. Espresso can be single espresso or double espresso. If you want to experience more of the strength and aroma of a cuppa, then go for double espresso.
Properly brewed espresso results in the creation of crema, a caramel-colored foam that floats on the surface of the espresso, a result of the high-pressure brewing process.
This is a small cup of double espresso. Can you see the crema on the surface?
