Difference between Coffee and espresso
Among the various types of coffee available in the market one most common and demanding coffee is espresso. Espresso is so popular that every coffee lover knows about it and must have tried it once in his or her lifetime.

Espresso is generally of reddish-brown color and it is mostly seen that when the air bubbles of the espresso combine with soluble oil of fine ground coffee beans it usually takes reddish-brown color. Another important thing is that espresso takes very little time to brew. Unlike other types of coffee that you usually find in the market, espresso requires only 30 seconds of time to brew. Now one question may come in your mind that since espresso needs only 30 seconds to brew whether it can produce the required amount of caffeine. If you are a coffee lover and have the same question in your mind that then you must know that though espresso requires only 30 seconds of time to brew it can still provide the required amount of caffeine. Apart from providing the required amount of caffeine the process of the preparation of espresso is certainly more volatile as well as aromatic coffee oil. These things you will not find in a regular cup of coffee.
There is another difference between coffee and espresso and that is the health benefits. We all know that caffeine that you can find in the coffee can cause insomnia and it can enhance the symptoms of anxiety. Apart from that, it is also observed that taking too much caffeine can increase the risk of high blood pressure. But in a single shot of espresso, you can only find 60 mg of caffeine which is almost one-fourth times less than the normal cup of coffee. Thus it will not be wrong to say that if a person has a habit of having espresso frequently it will not affect too much like that of taking other types of coffee.
