Espresso

from single origin to our Church Coffee Blend our espresso shines!

Espresso is a strong, thick, black coffee that's made by forcing hot water under high pressure through finely ground coffee beans. The brewing method and the ingredients used give espresso a different flavor and texture than regular coffee:

• Pressure

  Espresso is brewed using pressure, typically between 6 and 9 BAR, which is higher than other coffee brewing methods. This pressure extraction process draws out the coffee grounds' natural oils and gasses.

• Grind

  Espresso uses finely ground coffee beans, while regular coffee uses medium or coarser grounds.

• Water to grounds ratio

  Espresso uses a lower ratio of water to grounds than regular coffee.

• Brewing time

  Espresso has a faster brewing time than regular coffee, usually taking 20–30 seconds.

• Crema

  The result of air bubbles mixing with the coffee's oils, espresso has a light brown foam layer on top called the crema
