What the difference between Coffee and Espresso?!
The beans are roasted until they are dark and oily-looking. The two main differences between coffee and espresso are the fineness of the grind and the brewing time. The brewing time for espresso is much shorter, made possible by espresso machines that generate up to 15 atmospheres of pressure to force hot water through the ground coffee.
When the espresso is placed into a small filtered basket, it is tightly packed with about 40lbs of pressure. Coffee is loose grinds and not packed at all. When the espresso liquid comes out, it is a dark brown color and slightly thick liquid with a small amount of crema on top. ( Crema is a foam similar to that found on beer.) Also, there are many factors in making the perfect shot of espresso.
As mentioned above, the temperature and pressure of the water, the fineness of the ground coffee, and how tightly it is packed into the filter basket are just a few.
Answers: They are both coffee, but Espresso is roasted a bit darker and it is stronger and you drink it in little cups.

Espresso has less caffeine. Essentially, the difference is in the brewing time. The following links contain much more detail if you are interested. Me? I drink diet Dew most of the time. :-)

1 shot of espresso has the same amount of the coffee but less water.
More strength due to less water content. The caffinee in the espresso hits the body faster.
