Recently I was asked "Is espresso, coffee?" There have been several debates on this subject through out our offices but now I'd like to poise the question to you, faithful readers of the Coffee Conundrum Blog.
This is my response: Espresso is a nectar of the Gods. Truly an elixer to stimulate the senses and awaken the mind. Although derived from the arabica bean which is used to make coffee, espresso can be compared in certain circles to that of a wine.
The leap isn't all that far if you follow my logic...wine is derived from a fruit, the grape; cider is derived from a fruit, the apple and let's not forget our favorite orange juice. So to answer espresso is not coffee, it is a derivative of a fruit seed, arabica beans.
What do you think?
Is Espresso...Coffee? Looking forward to your responses and comments.
