Your morning routine could use a little boost.
In our opinion, the morning doesn’t really begin until you have your first swig of coffee — and preferably espresso since when it comes to coffee, we believe the stronger the better.
Although espresso is technically just a style of coffee (and not a different type of coffee bean), what sets espresso apart from your average drip coffee is the specific method in which it is prepared. Brewed by forcing a small amount of nearly boiled water under pressure through finely ground coffee beans, espresso is usually served as a smaller shot since the flavor is more robust and concentrated. For your coffee beans, you’ll want to stick to an espresso roast, dark-to-medium roast, or a French roast.
To get your morning started with a proper caffeine buzz, we’ve compiled a list of the best espresso brands based on hyper-enthusiastic Amazon reviews plus our own tried-and-true cult favorites.
1. Lavazza Gran Crema Espresso
This Gran Crema blend from Italian brand Lavazza is an Amazon best seller based on overall quality and taste. Many reviewers describe being completely “hooked” on Lavazza after their first cup.
With rich notes of hazelnuts and brown sugar, this best-selling espresso brand tops our list as Editor’s Choice.
2. Starbucks Espresso Dark Roast
