Espresso is a full-flavored, concentrated form of coffee that is served in "shots." It is made by forcing pressurized, hot water through very finely ground coffee beans. The process is called "pulling a shot."

​

The full flavor of espresso makes it the ideal base for mixing a variety of coffee drinks. Many are simple variations of one of the following all of which begin with a shot or two of espresso:

Cafe Latte - This is a tall steamed milk drink with a double shot of espresso. They are often flavored with syrups.

Cappuccino - This is a short steamed or frothed milk drink with a single shot of espresso.

Caffe Americano - This involves a shot of espresso topped with hot water to fill a 6- ounce cup. It's a nice alternative to drip coffee when you desire a tall drink but still want a rich flavor.

Re Eye - This is the ultimate caffeine jolt. The drink is a shot of espresso on top of a cup of regular coffee.
