What is espresso?

G’Day Coffee Lover =)

Did you know that espresso is a type of coffee that is brewed using high-pressure hot water forced through finely ground coffee beans? It's made using an espresso machine, which uses a small amount of water (typically 1-2 ounces) and high pressure (around 9-11 bars) to extract the flavours and oils from the coffee beans quickly and efficiently.

The resulting espresso shot is typically very strong and concentrated, with a thick layer of crema (a foam made of oils and sugars) on top. It's perfect on its own or used as a base for other coffee drinks such as flat whites, iced lattes, and mochas.

Espresso is usually made using a blend of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans, and the roast level can vary depending on the desired flavor profile. Espresso machines are available in a range of sizes and styles, from small, manual machines for home use to larger, automated machines used in commercial settings.

Hope this helps and have a great day!
