Espresso: The Pure Shot

History and Origins

Invented in Italy in 1901 by Luigi Bezzera with the first espresso machine, it revolutionized coffee by forcing hot water through grounds under pressure. From Turin cafes, it spread globally as the base for many drinks.

Taste and Texture

Thick and creamy with a fine crema layer, the texture is viscous. The taste is intense, bold, and layered with notes of caramel, nuts, and acidity.

Type of Drinker

For connoisseurs who appreciate unadulterated coffee, quick caffeine boosters, Italians at heart, or those savouring short, potent experiences.

Caffeine Rating

9/10 – Concentrated power in a small shot.
