Here’s how Espresso helps you jumpstart conversations and keep them focused:

-Add contacts straight from your phone to start talking fast
-Bring anyone into the conversation by sharing a special link
-Simple to use and maintain, with no software or set-up needed from IT
-Web/Android versions so the whole team can join in, live.
-Keep teams organized, by giving each team its own “Space”
-Stay on topic by giving each conversation its own “#topic”
-And YOU choose the #topics to follow, focused on what matters to YOU

Espresso is perfect for:
-Creative Teams, to stay up-to-date while freely exchanging ideas.
-Small Business, to unify fast-moving teams with mobile-first communications
-Professors & Students, to share material fast while maintaining privacy. FERPA compliant

Easier to organize than email, Espresso keeps all your teams and conversation #topics in one place, searchable across multiple projects. Unlike “enterprise” alternatives, you won’t need IT to set up or maintain anything. And Espresso’s efficient, human-centered design helps keep people focused on the business at hand.

YOU’RE IN CONTROL
You’re in charge of Espresso. Turn off notifications for those #topics when you don’t need to follow them and minimize distractions. Group chat has never sounded so sweet.

GOOD IDEAS GET SAVED
When you tap an important message, Espresso bookmarks it and organizes it by its #topic. Easily find it later and never lose a thought again.

STAY PRIVATE, EVEN ON CALLS
You can message contacts within Espresso without exposing your phone number. Plus there are no separate usernames or pins. This is simple, black-and-white messaging.

Requires cell service!

Just like every other "free" chat app, it requires a cell number for "verification" if I had cell service I wouldn't want this app!!


A product with a purpose
Freemaugli

If you download this thinking it's another group chat app, you will be disappointed. If you are looking for a more focused and effective way to communicate with your colleagues and family, this is fantastic. If you use slack, which I use for work, this is a simpler version of that for everything else in your life. I have a space with my business partners and one with my husband. I love that we can see the topics we are all tracking front and center.


Intuitive Group Chats
BigJumpMan

This app allows users to communicate with groups of people much more intuitively than the standard group chat. Espresso is cross-platform and fun to use. You can have multiple groups that appear in a menu as color coded widgets. A simple way to launch conversations of various topics.


EFFICIENT APP FOR COMMUNICATING WITH GROUP MEMBERS!

I've used Espresso for about a month now, and I've found it very useful when I'm texting a group of people on various topics (thanks to their hashtag feature under 'spaces'). You can also "highlight" messages that are important and the app stores it for you to open in the future, which is amazing because iMessage doesn't even have this feature.


This app saved my project

I had a science project to try to accomplish with 12 people. I tried to chat on whatsapp but you know how it is I got so confused who was talking to who about what. This app allows you to organize your project by topic of conversation. I use it and I never look back.


Organization and efficiency
rachegs11

I have used Espresso for a couple of weeks now, and it has allowed talking in groups to be much more functional and organized. You are able to separate different groups of people into channels which serve as a topic of conversation. There are also many other unique features such as highlighting messages for easy access later, or muting individual channels without having to mute the entire group chat. There is still room for improvements and growth for this app, but I would definitely recommend it for the work place, friends, clubs, sports teams, etc.


Very effective app!
DoubleL18

I used espresso for about 2 weeks a really thought it was a game changer in the messaging world! The channels and spaces allow for great organization and make chatting way more efficient. The highlight tool is an extra bonus that makes finding saved messages super quick! Overall, a really novel idea and I can't wait to see what comes of it!


Simplifies my project-driven life!
flamencofeet

I have a small storytelling agency where I partner with freelance designers, strategists, and project managers in the US and Spain. This app allows me to keep all my project conversations in one place (but in separate streams) with the convenience of text (rather than using sludgy email), allowing me to quickly and easily stay on top of each project. This app makes work fun + light. I *love* it! The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is because I haven't used it enough. (Full disclosure: I have done some project work with Espresso, but was not asked to review the product, and receive no benefits for this review. I just love the product--it's perfect for my life as the owner of a small agency.)
