Have you ever wondered about the background of your favorite Espresso drink? The word “Espresso” comes from Italian and means “expressed” or “forced out”. Espresso is made by forcing very hot water through finely-ground, compacted coffee. Although it is tempting to call this traditional beverage an “EXpresso” the correct terminology is “ESpresso”!
