Espresso coffee was invented in Italy at the turn of the century. A pump-driven machine forces hot water through fine grounds at around nine atmospheres of pressure. It should take between 18 to 23 seconds to extract a good shot. This will produce from 3/4 to one ounce of a sweet, thick and rich, smooth shot of espresso. The word comes from the Latin word “Expresere” which means “to press out.”
