Looking for a great tasting coffee drink that is extremely potent, tastes great and is made with a high pressure coffee machine? Take a look at espresso.

Espresso is now extremely popular but was only developed in the last 100 years. Espresso is an extremely potent coffee drink that is brewed under enormous pressure. Espresso is actually brewed at about 8 or 9 atmospheres of pressure, delivering a great tasting extremely potent coffee drink that is served in small shots. Most people usually drink espresso straight in either one or two shots. Besides straight espresso shots, you can find espresso in great coffee drinks such as cappuccino, café latte and mochachinos. Because espresso is relatively condensed, you can add it to many other drinks without diluting the flavor.

Espresso must be brewed in a special espresso machine which brews special kind of coffee grinds under immense pressure. While drip coffee makers can cost as low as $20, espresso machines can sometimes cost hundreds or even over a thousand dollars each. However, for coffee connoisseurs nothing beats great tasting espresso shots and cappuccino.

Espresso is brewed rather quickly and you can usually use an espresso machine to make a shot or two in only a few minutes. Espresso is usually more potent and includes a very high percentage of caffeine. Many people that need a quick pick me up choose espresso shots to start their morning or to help keep them going during the day or evening.
