Caffè espresso or espresso (from Italian; alternate spelling in English expresso) is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing steam or hot water under pressure through finely ground coffee. The defining characteristics of espresso include a thicker consistency than drip coffee and a higher amount of dissolved solids than drip coffee per relative volume. As a result of the high-pressure coffee brewingprocess, all of the flavours and chemicals in a typical cup of coffee are concentrated. For this reason, espresso lends itself to becoming the base for other drinks, such as lattes, cappuccino, macchiato and mochas. All though some drink espresso straight up, it is coffee on turbo and not intended for the first time coffee drinker or the caffeine squimish.
