Espresso coffee is made with finely ground coffee that is packed tightly and has very hot water forced through it with pressure, in small amounts. It has a bold taste and is typically thicker than regular coffee. A perfect Espresso coffee has 3 colors in it if you see from a transparent cup (dark at the bottom, light brown at middle, creamy layer at top)
In short, "Espresso" is just a way to make coffee.

∙ 13y agoEspresso typically begins with coffee beans that have been very darkly roasted (this is most often, but not always true). Once roasted, the beans are then ground to an extra-fine powder (compared to the more "coarse" grind for generic coffee). Then, the fine-ground coffee is brewed with pressurized hot water. This requires a special machine. (No, your Mr. Coffee dripper won't do the job!)
Voila! You have Espresso.
