If you never made an espresso without an espresso machine before, then this short tips is for you. But please note that, i'm not talking about make an espresso for a drink, make an espresso in this article is refer to an espresso coffee for a desert.
You could go to your local coffee bar and ask for a double shot to go as if its going into a recipe then use that. If you're using it in a recipe it shouldn't matter too much. A spoonful of instant coffee dissolved within 1oz of hot water would make the something similar to espresso.
If you need fresh espresso (i.e. serving directly to people) then I would recommended a stove top brewer or invest in a "true" espresso machine and enjoy.
Interms of what time of coffee beans to go for try a blend like After Dinner. Coffee from Central America would be good. Avoid Colombian as it tends to be sweet and may become very sickly in a sweet desert.
Espresso is made with boiling water pressured through coffee grinds. The machine does the pressure part. Even a stove-top espresso pot functions the same. Without water being pressured through the coffee grinds, it is not possible to get the concentrated form of coffee, otherwise known as espresso.
To make a proper espresso, you need a machine that can produce at least 9bar of pressure. If you are only using it for a recipe you can use a powdered instant espresso coffee that they sell at most supermarkets since you only need the flavor.
I suggest you buy an espresso maker, but if you just want to make it for a desert, you can follow the step above.
