Espresso is a particular way of preparing coffee.
Espresso is made by forcing a shot of hot water at high pressure through very finely ground coffee.
Electric percolators and drip coffee makers use gravity to move the water through the coffee grounds.
Espresso is more concentrated, thicker, darker, and stronger in flavor than gravity-brewed coffee, though the latter has a higher concentration of caffeine. In addition to being served on its own, espresso is used in a number of specialty coffee drinks, including lattes and mochas. Espresso is well suited to these drinks because it is so concentrated that a relatively small amount can flavor an entire drink.
