What’s the Difference Between Espresso and Expresso ?
There’s a common confusion between the terms espresso and expresso. While many people use expresso to refer to an espresso, it's technically incorrect. The word espresso comes from Italian and refers to the pressure-based brewing method, whereas expresso is a commonly accepted—but linguistically incorrect—term used in informal French.
Preparing an espresso is key to capturing the full richness of coffee. The extraction process involves hot water passing through finely ground coffee under high pressure, resulting in an aromatic and intense cup of coffee.

Espresso or Ristretto : What’s the Difference ?
If you're a fan of espresso, you’ve probably wondered about the difference between an espresso and a ristretto.
Although both are prepared in the same way, the amount of water and extraction time vary. A ristretto is a shorter, more concentrated version of espresso, made using less water.
Ristretto is ideal for those who enjoy a bolder, more intense coffee. It offers a richer experience, with a thicker crema and a more pronounced mouthfeel. If you love strong flavors, a ristretto is a great choice.

It’s also important to consider the roasting of the coffee beans. This step enhances the aromas and ensures optimal pressure-based extraction during brewing.
