I'm madly in love with coffee. So, I added up what it would cost me in a lifetime worth of espresso drinks. I took that money and bought a genuine Italian made double boiler prosumer espresso machine and an equal quality grinder. I won't lie, it took me the better part of a year to almost equal that of a barista. If anyone ever tells you "making espresso is easy", they're pulling nearly undrinkable sink shots at best and they're lying to you. After two years, it's most definitely money well spent. Now, I can't wait to wake up every morning, pull a shot in my PJ's, sit back and sip on a little cup of heaven.

I mostly drink coffee at home but my local specialty roaster has a café and the staff there has been great. When I asked them for a recommendation for something fruity they recommended one of their blends. I asked for a single shot so I could get a sense of the flavor and I don't think they charged me for that shot. I walked out with my beans and they make a lovely pour over as well as great espresso. My latest visit yielded a very tasty natural process coffee. I'll be going back for sure! Ceremony Coffee Roasters in Annapolis MD.

I absolutely love Japanese local small roasters where you can get the best espresso of your choice, but what was making me happy is that even in something like Starbucks if I asked about the espresso menu, they'd tell all about it and give little one-sip samples for tasting of cold brews of the blends they would be using that day. So that you'd choose which one you'd like to go into your espresso drink 😃 This is smart

My dear departed uncle was a self described coffee connoisseur. I remember when we would go for coffee he would ask the barista, the question, What is on Espresso today?. I never really understood why he asked and why it mattered. Thank you, Morgan for the explanation.

It's strange to me how people outside my country are so easily intimidated by pure espresso while in the Czech republic a lot of people enjoy coffee with the literal grounds in the cup. I never even thought of it as strange until coffee started appearing on the internet. Before anyone starts calling us weirdos or whatever, it comes from the fact that during the rule of the soviet party, there were no such things as cafes, coffee machines or even coffee filters here. People made do with what they had. We only do it now because children saw their parents do it, which saw their parents do it, so it feels normal. And honestly it's a really easy way to have a quick and cheap coffee. Edit: the real weirdos use one batch of grounds twice. Usually poor uni students, for cafeine induced all nighters lol

I love espresso but i was never sure i wasnt drinking it "wrong" somehow, so thank you for the easy and straight forward explanations, plus the view behind the counter!

Also appreciating the greens and the floorboards in your café. Great place to hang out reading a slim volume of poetry.

I had my first espresso drink (cafe mocha with very dark chocolate and little milk) around 1979 (four years before I first heard of Starbucks). My first double espresso a couple years later -- still years before you were born. I drank Americano every morning while attending community college (in the early '90s) for 8:00 AM class after working until midnight the night before. I got my own first espresso machine (a little up-flow boiler unit, like a self-heating moka pot) around 1987, sprayed milk all over my kitchen learning to steam foam for cappuccino, then moved up to down-flow with an actual portafilter, then pump-fed; at present, I don't have time for home espresso making, but have a Krups Gusto (my second) in waiting for when I have more time again. If I hit the lottery, there'll be a traditional lever-drive in my new, huge kitchen. In short, I've been at this a while, and this is one of the best explanations of what a beginner would need to know when ordering one that I've ever seen. It's also a clear reminder of the levels of skill and care that go into making good espresso in the absence of the fully automatic machines that grind, measure, tamp, pull, and dispose of the spent puck all at the press of a button, and steam milk at the press of a different button, as found in "fast food" espresso houses that need to deal with rapid employee turnover and high volume drive-through. Good for you!

YOU ARE BRILLIANT. The way you articulate and present yourself when covering each point. Brilliant.

This is fascinating to watch as someone from Portugal, where coffee = espresso and literally everyone over the age of 15 will drink one during breakfast and after each meal. Since I started my coffee journey through "the American/Northern European path" aka: Starbucks, trendy brunch cafes and eventually specialty coffee shops, this feels like a bit of a clash of worlds

Yes very true Eduardo. I find you can tell an awful lot about a coffee shop by using their toilets. When I go to one for the first time I will just urinate and then, after that depending on how that goes, and if I feel the need I will defecate into a coffee cup (sometimes two cups are required for heavy soiling), then leave the soiled coffee cup back on a table in the coffee shop. Now if the discovery of said soiled cup sends the staff and then customers into a disgusted panic, you know the coffee shop is not up to muster. Now on the other hand, If the offending article is discovered and dispatched with minimal fuss you know you are in a quality establishment and you can rest assured the espresso will be of a suitably good standard. Good luck out there coffee lovers.

As a person who's "self-taught" at drinking espresso, it's very weird to find out the spoon is for mixing the crema into the liquid espresso. One of the pleasures of espresso to me is the different experiences in the one little cup: you get the aroma, then the crema, the bulk of the coffee, and then the dottle-y bit at the bottom. It's like a little adventure!

James Hoffmann has a different explanation of why you should stir the espresso. Basically from what I remember, the espresso that first enters the cup has a different taste than the last bit that enters at the end of the shot (i.e. the espresso gets more bitter tastes at the end of the shot). So you stir to get it all mixed together. I don't think it has anything to do with the crema.

We have two kinds of coffee at home: a fruity, light coffee for my french press, and a dark chocolatey, sweet espresso. But the more I watch of your videos the more I realize I prepare the espresso in most layman of ways - espresso grounds by feel, no professional tamper etc. I LIKE that espresso though. On the other hand: I have never had an espresso prepared by a knowlegable barista. Perhaps it could taste even better.

Your videos have already taught me so much about coffee, but there's something about this video especially that I liked! It could be a mix of the topic and the style. Anyway, my husband loves ordering straight espresso, but for some reason, we've never been bold enough to ask what the espresso is. And then we often end up blindly buying coffee beans from that store and blindly trying to recreate the coffee at home. Thank you for giving us a bit more confidence

That's actually a legal requirement in the UK now, when asked the staff have to give a detailed list of allergens, and know them as well.

As a Portuguese person I'm always surprised when people feel awkward about expresso, or find it too strong, or don't even know how to drink it. It's a traditional drink here, and I don't know anyone who won't have it. Cheers for my south European coffee drinkers! We even use the expression "tomamos café? (shall we have a coffee?)" as a synonym for taking a break outside the house to socialize. So when a friend from the USA came over about 15 years ago, and ordered a coffee only to then stare in horror as she was brought an expresso, I was confused. She thought it was very "chic" but at the same time she acted like it was hard liquor and she could not even drink it, first waiting for it too cool (blasphemy) and then wanting to fill it with water and sugar to make it into what we call "coffee water" (aka what you guys usually drink). It's an interesting cultural difference. And I find that expresso drinkers have a sort of kinship. I move around a lot, and it is ONE OF THE HARDEST things to find. Good expresso that is. I've had such bad luck in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands. I can only find drinkable expresso in foreign coffee shops, either from the south of Europe or the north of Africa. I'm really glad people have taken such an interest in coffee, and this way, perhaps I'll be able to find more expresso everywhere I go, and try different types. Still, there is a downside. Since it's a traditional drink in Portugal, it only costs around 50 cents. And this is the amazing, flavourful coffee we love and adore. Every time I find it outside of the South of Europe, it costs 3 euros or more! I feel robbed!

Hello there Chris ! As someone who is learning about coffee such as myself, I too struggled with that in the earlier phase of recognising coffee. Here's a little tip to help you out! Referring to the video by Morgan, she is simplifying the complex characters of espresso to a first-timer customer, with terms such as (fruity, nutty, chocolate) etc. which I'm sure you are already familiar with. The variables that you mentioned such as - region - process method - roast level are information about the coffee which will be then be brewed and served to you by the barista. These detailed information my friend, is not up to the barista, but up to you're knowledge and understanding to "expect" the flavours of espresso. For example, Comparing natural and washed process coffee beans. Natural gives more complexed flavour; Washed gives more simplicity and clarity. Regions of the coffee make them unique in their own way because of harvested altitude and location gives character. (Fruity, Floral , Nutty, Chocolate ) Roast Level usually will be differentiated by Arabica / Robusta depending on region as well. To cut this shorter, familiarise yourself with every type of coffee out there! The barista serving you can do only so much of explaining for you, but at the end of the day, it's you who's enjoying that cuppa coffee!

Eheh, this brings back memories. At the coffee chain where I used to work at, all new baristas have to undergo this rite of initiation, of drinking a single espresso. Just a fun way to get to know the new guy. This was supposed to be a jab at the newbie, since many of them don't actually enjoy coffee drinks as much, especially not the dreaded 'superly bitter coffee that will make you stay awake for days'. Some even nursed their drink within the course of their first shift, but no one has failed to finish theirs so far. I remember the look on my manager's face as I took my initiation espresso in like 3 sips, because I wanted to get started with work. Still, even then, from that shot, I knew the coffee chain has some relatively good coffee for a coffee chain, and I'm gonna enjoy my time here, which I did

Go to most places in Adelaide, Melbourne or Sydney (just to name a few) that aren't a chain (and a few that are) and order an espresso, and they will know exactly what you want.

Yes please make this a series!!! Explain all types of coffee for the uneducated (me)

Thank you. I have lunch plans with some coffee loving friends and I know after lunch we will go get some Expresso. At least now I will understand more what I am ordering.

99.9% of cafes will say “it’s a blend,” if asked what is on espresso.

I enjoy the sitting and looking over the shoulder intro. Real sinister 😂

Liebe Morgan, da du in der Werbepause erzählt hast, dass du Deutsch sprichst, schreibe ich dir nun, wie sehr mir deine Videos über Kaffee gefallen und das ich mitgefiebert habe bei der Barista-Championship. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

I went from 8+ teaspoons of sugar and full fat milk in my coffee to enjoying espresso as is. I do love that first sip thats just all creme though 👀 My dad thinks I'm drinking it wrong by not adding sugar at all 🙃

I like black coffee, but I’ve never had espresso. What should I expect in relation to black coffee?

Something similar but stronger in taste… very strong but long lasting after taste which justifies that amount

Thanks Morgan, I think I used the spoon for what it was intended for the first time today :-)

Every time you swirl an espresso, James Hoffman cries.
