Espresso or Expresso?

Ok, we get this question all the time...first of all, you shouldn't be anywhere that you have to ask for an espresso or Expresso, you should have ordered it from us, and have it pressed in the luxury of your own home! But let's say you were put in a position of no other choice, needing to order...you should ALWAYS ask for an ESPRESSO. Some quick facts: Espresso is not a type of bean, blend or roast type, instead it is simply another method of brewing coffee. It is produced by pushing hot water at high pressures, through a bed of finely ground, compacted coffee, topped with a dark golden cream, called crema (when brewed properly). The crema is one of the visual indicators of a quality shot of espresso!
