Espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage originating in Italy, made by forcing hot water under high pressure through finely ground coffee beans. It is typically served in 25–30 ml portions and has a dark body topped by lighter-colored crema. Espresso machines produce it quickly, usually in 25–30 seconds. It is the base for drinks including cappuccino, caffè latte, and americano, and is significant in coffee shop culture and the third-wave coffee movement.
