La Prima Espresso

Description

Founded in 1988, La Prima Espresso sells and services commercial espresso machines whose showroom also functions as an Italian-style espresso bar.

Espresso is a concentrated beverage brewed by forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water under pressure through finely ground coffee beans. Espresso often has a thicker consistency than coffee brewed by other methods, a higher concentration of suspended and dissolved solids and foam. As a result of the pressurized brewing process the flavours and chemicals in a typical cup of coffee are very concentrated.

The authentic atmosphere includes hard wood floors, terra cotta ceiling and the aroma of perfectly brewed coffee beans. Guests often enjoy watching Italian sports games on the video screen.
