It is prepared by forcing hot water under pressure through ground coffee. This produces the delightful black coffee with the stimulating effect. [. . . ] Since a higher temperature is necessary for the generation of steam than that required for preparing espresso, the espresso should always be prepared first, as the coffee meal might otherwise become burnt.
