For anyone that sees espresso and thinks express, as in something fast, it’s actually meant to be pressed, as it’s an Italian term. So that’s hot water that went through pressed coffee powder.

The “pressed” doesn’t refer to the coffee powder but to the water: the water is pressed through the coffee grounds using high pressure (around 9 bars or so).

You espress it?
Si
Espresso makes me Expresso.
It also means express in italian. It’s a pun. The reason it was invented was to make coffee brewing faster so coffee breaks wouldn’t take so long.

Ops, my mistake!
