A double espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage made by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans. It uses twice the amount of coffee grounds compared to a single espresso, resulting in a stronger flavor and higher caffeine content. Typically, a double espresso is served in a small cup, known as a demitasse, and is enjoyed by coffee enthusiasts for its rich taste. This drink is a popular choice in many coffee shops and is often the base for other beverages, such as cappuccinos and lattes. A double espresso can be enjoyed on its own or used as a quick pick-me-up due to its robust nature.
