Style of Making Coffee
Espresso and Cappuccino
Now we are talking good coffee, if you have ever had a good espresso or cappuccino made using a espresso machine not from Tim Hortons you will know what I'm talking about. An espresso machine is a very expensive piece of equipment it works by forcing high pressure steam though very finely ground coffee grinds extracting the most flavour possible form the bean. This steam condensates and drips into a tiny cup. Cappuccino is made using an espresso and adding frothed milk.
