The difference between espresso and coffee

This video explains the difference between espresso and brewed or filtered coffee.

The main difference is in preparation. Espresso is made by pushing water through a puck of finely ground coffee at high pressure in a process that takes about half a minute. For brewed coffee, no pressure is applied to the water, taking a few minutes for a full extraction.

The flavour is different too, as faster extraction and higher coffee concentration give espresso a more intense flavour than brewed coffee.
