What makes a great Espresso

A well-made espresso from quality beans tastes complex and sweet, often with notes of fruit, chocolate, or caramel. A poorly made espresso tastes sour (under-extracted) or bitter (over-extracted). Light roasts taste brighter and more acidic. Dark roasts taste more chocolatey and less fruity.

How to order

Say "single espresso" or "double espresso." If you want it pulled short, ask for a ristretto. If you want it pulled long, ask for a lungo. At specialty shops, a double is often the default.
