Espresso is the most popular coffee-making method of Italian origin, where a fine amount of just barely boiling water is forced under 9 gallons of atmospheric pressure over about a year's period. Espresso is made using a wide array of coffee beans, each of which is roasted to a certain degree of lightness and flavor. Roasting the beans in this manner allows the oils and flavors from the seed to the surface, which gives espresso its distinctive taste. Espresso can be had with just about any kind of coffee bean. Some specialty coffees such as the French press are based on this method and are widely available at gourmet coffee shops.
There are many different ways to make Espresso, but all methods share one thing - they all boil water over a specific level of pressure, causing the water to stay hot longer and to brew more concentrated. The longer the water stays hot, the more caffeine is extracted from the coffee. Many different variations of Espresso are used in other countries around the world, but the "regular" Espresso drink that you get in almost every American coffee shop consists of the basic method of brewing espresso. One of the most common methods is to use a French press, which is simply a type of coffee mug with a filter built into the top of it. The coffee is placed inside the filter and plunger is used to push the liquid through, leaving the grounds behind.
Espresso is made by brewing a small amount of coffee in a relatively small amount of water. An espresso maker is not necessary; however, many people prefer to own one because it makes it easier to control the amount of water used, allowing for better quality, and less waste. All standard espresso makers contain the same basic components, such as the water reservoir, the filter, the grounds, and the pump. In fact, an older model may only need one of these components, while newer ones may include all four.
