The short double espresso is part of all espresso-based beverages. It is made of water and coffee with a strong taste and is very easy to make.


A Brief History

Espresso is a coffee extraction. This means that very hot pressurized water passes through the coffee to extract the oils. This makes a very concentrated and dense drink, with a lower caffeine content. In addition, espresso is divided into two parts: the liquid and the crema. It is the base of the majority of the beverages on the menus in coffee shops.

  2. Press the coffee into the portafilter.

  3. Once the portafilter is inserted into the brew group, start extracting. Stop once there is around 2 oz. of liquid.

  4. Enjoy. Some people add milk, cream, or sugar to their espresso.
