If you\u2019re anything like me, you\u2019ve probably wondered at some point if you\u2019re spending too much money on coffee. Spoiler: you probably are.<\/p>\n

Upon realizing this myself a few years ago, I set upon a journey to learn to make my own coffee \u2014 the type of espresso-based drinks you tend to get at a hip coffee shop, in particular. Now I\u2019m here to spread the love and help you get started on your own journey.<\/p>\n

First things first: Keep in mind this guide isn\u2019t meant to be a comprehensive guide to espresso gear, nor do I intend to go deep into the specifics of perfecting your brew. There are much better resources for this.<\/p>\n

Instead, I hope to set you off on the right foot with the gear I\u2019ve actually used myself regularly to deliver espresso shots that can rival the typical coffee shop \u2014 for much less money in the long run.<\/p>\n

What makes espresso different from other coffees?<\/h3>\n

This guide is specifically for espresso. Espresso differs from most other brewing methods in that the coffee is brewed under intense amounts of pressure, usually anywhere from 6-9 bars.<\/p>\n

Long story short: this allows you to extract more caffeine and flavor compounds per gram of brewing water used. That means far more concentrated coffee than most other brewing methods, typically resulting in bolder, more complex flavors.<\/p>\n
