Espresso powder

Espresso powder begins life as a select variety of coffee beans that are cultivated specifically for the brewing of espresso. Usually, the beans are ground just before the espresso is brewed.

Instant espresso powder refers to powder or granules that are used to provide an easily blended source of intense coffee flavor.
