Espresso is a very strong Coffee. A shot of espresso is made by forcing hot water at high pressure through tightly packed, finely ground espresso beans. The beans are ground much finer than what you normally use in drip coffee makers. The pressure and high heat of the water bring much more of the coffee flavor out of the beans making it much stronger. There are many variables that determine the quality of espresso.

• Temperature of the water
• Pressure of the water
• Fineness of the ground beans
• How tightly the grounds are packed
• The quality of the beans
• The roasting of the espresso beans

These variables are controlled by the “barista” . The result, if done correctly is a thick, rich smooth shot of espresso. Making a great cup of espresso is as much an art as a science, at Grinders we consider ourselves espresso artists. In the same way a conductor directs his orchestra to make a fantastic sound we control all variables to produce an exquisite taste. The only thing we don’t do is grow the beans ourselves. We leave that to the best coffee growers from around the world, and from them we get only the finest beans.
