Espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage with Italian origins, known for its rich flavor and velvety crema. Made by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee under high pressure, it offers an intense, aromatic experience in a small serving size, typically 1-2 ounces. Espresso contains minimal calories per shot and is naturally low in fat and sugar, making it a health-conscious choice when consumed without added sweeteners or cream. It’s also a source of antioxidants and contains around 40-80 milligrams of caffeine per serving, which can boost alertness and focus. However, excessive consumption may lead to jitteriness, increased heart rate, or disrupted sleep. Often enjoyed by itself, espresso also serves as the base for popular beverages such as lattes and cappuccinos. From its role in Italian culture to its global popularity today, espresso remains a beloved choice for coffee enthusiasts worldwide.
