Brush Up Your Coffee Scoop- Before Grabing One

1. ESPRESSO

The simplest drink to prepare, an espresso is a single shot of coffee, usually served in a small demitasse cup.The term short black is used interchangeably with espresso. Espresso coffee is often blended from several roasts and varietals to form a bold – not bitter flavor. The finely ground coffee is tightly packed or tamped into a “portafilter”; high-pressure water is then forced through the grounds and extracted in small, concentrated amounts.Intensity is the key here!
