I’ve made espresso in my coffee machine and it tastes pretty good, is there a big difference?
I’ve just been putting espresso beans in my coffee maker.

As espresso machine uses pressure to brew, making espresso more concentrated than coffee. As a result, espresso tends to be much stronger than regular coffee.
Also note that any type of coffee can be used to make espresso, it’s the machine that makes the difference.
Remember: coffee is to espresso as cocaine is to crack. It’s a little undignified, but it certainly helps me remember.
About two hundred dollars different.
much different. regular coffe is made by dripping hot water through ground coffee. in expresso, the grind is much finer, almost powdery, it is compacted and then steam is forced through the grind, creating more like an extract.
it goes ssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
pressure and steam
prob $500
The water is forced through the grounds under pressure.
espresso machine uses different type of coffee beans that are much stronger and bolder in flavor, uses steam to heat the milk to 140 degrees i think, and costs about $200 more than a regular coffee maker
Well, first of all Espresso is roasted different then regular Coffee, also a different Grind (almost like Powder).
Now i can just Imagine that you’re wondering why they Invented a "ESPRESSO MACHINE",
The Coffee is extracted instead Perculated, so it tastes more stronger, this Process also burns most of the bad Stuff, which
is the "Coffee Fat", that’s what makes you shaky,
