Understanding Basic Concepts about Brewing Espresso
Steam
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.
