Espresso subverts the world's perception of coffee with a mere 30ml of coffee, while making baristas as cool as bartenders and creating countless varieties of coffee, whether it's cappuccino, latte, Macchiato or those original private coffees, almost all of which are based on Espresso, so for many coffee shops, there is no good Espresso, there is no good coffee.

Espresso means fast in Italy, so Espresso is first famous for its fast extraction. In addition, Espresso is also called Italian concentrate by the Chinese. Although Espresso does not mean concentrated, the taste of Espresso is really very rich, so it is not too much to call it espresso. This is why we add a lot of milk to Espresso and it will become Cafe Latte.

However, apart from the Italians, there are not many countries in the world that really like to drink Espresso, so Espresso is more likely to appear in front of us in cappuccino.

The real Espresso is generally very small, with a single portion of 30ml and a double portion of 60ml, with rich fat, no milk, but sugar. Many Italians drink Espresso without sitting, just stand at the bar, wait for the coffee, and then leave after a few mouthfuls.

For most Chinese, the taste of Espresso is not very suitable. More importantly, it is really difficult for us to drink a really good Espresso in China.
