Happy National Espresso Day! As the patron saint of this holiday, we celebrate this bold beverage every day of the week. Here’s some neat trivia about espresso courtesy of NationalEspressoDay.com:

· A 60-ml shot of espresso has about the same caffeine as a 180-ml (6 fluid ounces) cup of drip coffee.
· The serving temperature for espresso is 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
· The ideal brewing time for one shot of espresso is 25 to 30 seconds
· Any type of coffee roast can be used to make espresso. The grind size and preparation are what makes it an espresso.
