View topic - Origin of the word "Espresso" - Coffee Forum (#)

  „I was wondering if anyone from these forums could tell me the origin of the word "espresso". I was having a discussion with a friend last night about the origin of the word "espresso" and my understanding is that the word relates to the fact that it is a fast serving type of coffee beverage, a cup of small coffee one drinks fast and usually standing (at least in the cafés of Europe), thus the word "espresso", which derives from the word "express" (in France one asks for a cup of espresso by simply asking for an "express"), meaning fast, without stoping, like an express bus service. Am I right or is there a completely different meaning and origin to the word "espresso" coffee?“

  „I've taken people that were completely green and trained them upon how to build some elements of the espresso carts, but have yet to find one that could handle it start to finish without being babysat for at least a year walking them through all of the stages. I see alot of home made designs created and to be honest, the normal response is,....you could have done better, saved money and had something impressive that pais for itself out of the wow factor which you'll need in any retail enviroment....“

  „By the way I'm a he (not she) In any event, I agree with the maintenance program you are suggesting. I must admit that I'm not versed in home espresso machines and therefore wasn't aware of any home models that have boilers, but since you've cleared that up thank you. I'm sure lyndseyevelyn will find your post very helpful. Good job.“

  „It won't be cheap, but you will get good espresso shots. If you were looking for a good home espresso machine you would add and extra 0 to your maximum price. It is possible to find a good machine for $650 to $800. Much less then that and you most likely will not be happy!“

  „Good job on the Conti as well as going manual, it will serve you well, it's funny how you purchased it from the looks, not realizing the direction you went with it is going to make you that much better of a barrista and overall, your company will serve better espresso, given the passion and effort is a constant.“
