Espresso, a rich and aromatic coffee drink, is made by forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water through finely-ground coffee beans. The result is a concentrated, flavorful beverage that can be enjoyed on its own or used as the base for other coffee drinks such as lattes and cappuccinos.
Making espresso at home has become increasingly popular, as consumers seek to recreate the caf experience in their own kitchens. This trend has been fueled by the availability of affordable espresso machines and the growing popularity of specialty coffee.
