If you’re a coffee lover, you’ve probably heard of the term “espresso” before. Espresso is a type of coffee that is brewed by forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water through finely-ground coffee beans. It’s known for its strong flavor and rich crema on top.
Espresso is the base for many popular coffee drinks, such as lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos. It’s a versatile coffee that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for other delicious creations. Whether you prefer it black or with milk, there’s a perfect espresso drink for everyone.
