ESPRESSO

Espresso is not a type of coffee bean or a roasting style – a common misconception. It's a process of brewing coffee and is instead made by forcing high-pressured hot water through very finely ground coffee beans. This is then topped with a crema, a brown foam, that adds the rich, full-flavoured aftertaste.
