Espresso (/ɛˈsprɛs/ , Italian: [eˈsprɛsso]) is a coffee-brewing method in which a small amount of nearly boiling water is forced under pressure through finely ground coffee beans.

Originating from Italy,[3][4] the French also made significant contributions[vague] via the invention of coffee makers, predecessors of today's espresso machines.

Espresso can be made with a wide variety of coffee beans and roast degrees, and numerous espresso-based drinks exist, often blending in milk. It is one of the world's most popular coffee-brewing methods.[citation needed]
