Espresso is a type of Italian coffee that is concentrated. In order to make espresso, coffee beans are powdered and hot water is added under high pressure. This is done using an espresso machine or a macchinetta. Usually, espresso is made using 1 part coffee beans to 2 parts water. This gives espresso a very strong flavor. Because espresso is so strong, it is often mixed with milk or water.
