Yes, the good news is you can properly make espresso in your regular coffee pot, and also save yourself some money, rather than buying an espresso machine. The main additional work you will need to do to make your espresso is to finely ground the espresso beans yourself, or you can also just buy a package of them that is already finely ground. You will also need to use an additional coffee filter in your pot to ensure that the water will move slowly through the espresso grounds. Other than that you will be set to go with a fresh cup of espresso!
