Definition of espresso

espresso \eh-SPREH-soh\ (noun) - Coffee brewed by forcing steam through finely ground darkly roasted coffee beans; a cup of espresso.
   
   "Carolyn couldn't begin her day without stopping at her favorite coffee place for that cup of espresso and jolt of caffeine to wake her up."
   
   Short for "caffe espresso," (Italian for "pressed out coffee") "espresso" quite accurately describes the process of making the beverage. The word first appeared in print in English in 1945. Also, "expresso" is incorrect, although by 1955 this variant was found in print as well. A common misconception is that "caffe espresso" means "fast coffee," which makes "expresso" more logical to English-speakers (by analogy with "express"). It's also possible that "expresso" came about simply by transforming "espresso" to a word that looked more familiar.
