What is Espresso?
1.
A type of coffee made by forcing very hot water through finely ground and tightly packed coffee resulting in a dark, sometimes bitter tasting, drink.
Espresso is served in shots of around 1.5 ounces, and is frequently added to steamed milk to make various coffee beverages.
Often mistakenly called "expresso".
I just spent an entire month's worth of paychecks on a new espresso machine. I will never sleep again.

Espresso = Coffee Squared.
Really strong
Most coffee shops put 2 shots of espresso in any coffee, so if you like your coffee strong, ask for an extra shot, if you like it weak, ask for one less.
Andy drank a shot of espresso and had the caffine twitches for an hour.
Louise is such a wimp, she drinks grande latte's with only one shot of espresso. It's hardly worth it!
