 Understanding the whole world of coffee can be a hard thing to do. Most people have it easy, and are just ignorant, which is truly fine. You can go through life and enjoy your cup of Maxwell House or Foldgers and it is just great. However, if you are looking for a deeper understanding you might be wondering, what is the difference between espresso and drip coffee.
First I want to make a note that some coffee companies sell a roasted bean called espresso. In this case this is a bean that the company has roasted with the idea of making espresso out of it. However, you can grind it for a regular drip coffee maker (or take it home and grind it) and enjoy it just like that. One of our favorite coffees is espresso roasted coffee. On a similar note if you are making espresso at home you can try other roasts and don't have to stick with the espresso roast. French roast is also makes a very enjoyable cup of espresso.

I love coffee, I love coffee as much as I love books. I grew up watching my father and his siblings drink the brown liquid and solve the world matters over a pot of Folgers. I would sit back and watch them and knew that at every home of the elders in our family was a pot of coffee brewing. They loved coffee and in their day, the stuff on the grocery store shelves was the best. They lived and discussed politics, economics, and culture in the times before Starbucks and a coffee shop on ever corner. What am I to do now that I am the grown up sitting at the table solving world peace over a vanilla latte? A trip to |
