Understanding Basic Concepts about Brewing Espresso
How espresso is made differently from
regular brewed coffee.
Traditional coffee is brewed by hot water being poured
through loose coffee grounds. With espresso, water is
heated in an enclosed chamber, then the water is forced
quickly under pressure through fine, compacted coffee
grounds.
Espresso can be made in either single or double servings.
Correctly prepared espresso has a strong, potent coffee
flavor and crema on the surface of the espresso.
Finely ground coffee grounds
are tamped into the filter holder.
