What is Espresso Coffee?
A common misconception is that Espresso Ground Coffee is a particular type of Coffee Bean. It isn’t. Under the right circumstances, almost all Coffee varieties can be used to make an Espresso. Likewise, all Beans labelled “Espresso” can be brewed as a so-called “regular” Coffee. The bottom line is that the Bean doesn’t come into the question. Which prompts the question: What does?
The primary difference between is the process applied to the former’s creation. It is the product of forcing pressurised hot water through finely-ground Coffee – also known as “pulling a shot.” A shot of the best Ground Coffee is, in essence, a concentrated form of Coffee. It is pretty much as simple as that.
Who Invented Espresso?
The concept of Espresso Coffee first took place in Venice, Italy, during the early 20th century. The drink was the invention of Luigi Bezzera, who discovered that applying steam pressure created a stronger Coffee while cutting the time required to make it.
He dubbed his machine the “Fast Coffee Machine.” The Italian word “Espresso” can translate to “fast” in English, which brought about the modern name.
Years later, in 1938, another inventor called Achille Gaggia created a machine that could increase steam pressure and, as a result, improve efficiency and taste.
No longer did people have to experience the burnt, overly bitter notes of so closely associated with previous models. But what, exactly, does Espresso Coffee taste like today? What can you expect in its characteristics?
Espresso Coffee Taste and Characteristics
When made to perfection, Espresso Ground Coffee, as a standalone beverage, should boast a smooth yet complex bittersweet balance of notes.
However, there are several Types of Coffee Drinks available on the market today, most of which undergo the Espresso Coffee process. This includes, but is not limited to, cappuccinos, lattes, americanos, flat whites and macchiatos.
Each one has something unique, indeed extraordinary, to offer casual drinkers and connoisseurs alike. Yet, there is still the question of how much Coffee for an Espresso you will require to create it at its finest.
To achieve the smoothness and complexity so sought after, a single shot should contain 6-8 grams of Ground Coffee for an Espresso Machine. A double shot, on the other hand, should use 15 grams.
