Espresso, a concentrated form of coffee, is made by forcing hot water through finely ground beans, resulting in a small but flavorful drink. Unlike drip coffee, which uses coarser grounds and a slower brewing technique, espresso yields a stronger taste in a smaller volume. The choice of cup plays a crucial role in the espresso experience, particularly in preserving the crema, the delicate foam atop the drink. Traditional Italian culture encourages consuming espresso quickly at a bar, ideally in a small porcelain or ceramic cup, maximizing heat retention and flavor enjoyment.
Espresso is brewed rapidly by forcing hot water through finely ground coffee, yielding a concentrated, small beverage that offers a stronger flavor than traditional drip coffee.
Espresso's characteristic crema, a thin layer of foam on top, is best preserved in small cups that maintain temperature and integrity during consumption.
