Espresso

Espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage made by forcing hot water through finely ground roasted coffee; it is a staple of Italian and specialty coffee culture and is commonly used as the base for drinks like lattes and cappuccinos. It is very low in energy at 9kcal per 100g and contains only trace amounts of protein and fat, making it a minimal-calorie way to get a caffeine boost. Nutritionally it contributes small amounts of minerals and B vitamins (notably copper, manganese and niacin) rather than macronutrients, and as a plain black drink it’s generally a healthful choice that can increase alertness and modestly reduce appetite without adding sugars or milk.
