Espresso Shot

Region: Italy 🇮🇹
Brewing Time: 25-30 seconds
Prep Time: 0 minutes (consumed immediately)
Total Time: <1 minute
Indulgence: ☕️☕️☕️ (Pure & Strong)
The Story:
Espresso is not a bean roast but a method of brewing: forcing hot water under high pressure through finely-ground coffee. Invented in Italy in the early 20th century for speed and intensity, it forms the foundation of nearly all Italian coffee drinks and is meant to be savored quickly while the flavorful crema (the golden foam on top) is still present.
