What Is Espresso?
What are the distinctions between espresso and coffee, and how do you tell the difference between the two? Coffee is defined as the liquid taken from the bean, rather than the process used to prepare it. Coffee beans from either robusta or arabica varieties can be used to make an excellent cup of espresso by following a precise preparation method.
Consider all of the numerous ways you may make coffee at home. There's French press coffee, pour-over coffee, stovetop percolator coffee, and other varieties to choose from. As a result, all espresso is coffee, but not all coffee is espresso, and vice versa.
Espresso is a method of preparing coffee that is highly concentrated. Using finely ground coffee that is brewed under pressure is the method of choice. With the use of pressure, an espresso machine pushes hot water through finely ground coffee (around nine bars). It is known as "pulling a shot"
Some roasters prefer to use high-quality robusta beans to give their espresso a stronger caffeine punch, and espresso beans are normally roasted for a longer period of time and at a higher temperature than those intended for drip coffee.
Espressos, in particular, contain immune-boosting antioxidants. Espresso shots can lessen the incidence of heart disease and stroke in obese people.
Some people prefer espresso because it is easy on the stomach. High pressure and quick extraction provide a different chemical balance than a drip or pour over brew.
Daily espresso is fine as long as you enjoy your espresso in moderation and you won't have to worry about the bad health repercussions.
