Espresso
Espresso – it is a very strong coffee. It is served without milk in little cups. Espresso in Italian means «express» or «fast».
Espresso has become a basis of coffee recipes. In spite of the fact that invention of this recipe is a merit of the Italians, the first espresso machine was found in France. This machine was unsuccessful and just the Italians have developed in its basis that one, which we know today. The hot water under the strong pressure is passed through well ground coffee and we get espresso.
The Italians serves this coffee “demitasse” (that means a half of cup). It contains one and a half oz of elegant black coffee with goldish cream.
