Espresso
The classic Italian coffee, short and black with a very intense
aroma and aftertaste. Made with freshly ground coffee for a
brewed quantity of 30ml. A perfect espresso always has a
5mm hazelnut crema.
Espresso Ristretto –20ml , Espresso Lungo –40 ml
Espresso Macchiato
Meaning ‘marked’ or ‘stained’ in Italian, macchiato is an
espresso with a dash of frothed milk.
Cappuccino
The most popular espresso based drink. Espresso topped
with perfectly steamed and foamed milk. Milk should be
frothed to 60°C with a texture of fine dense bubbles.
As you pour you create a slight dome. Steamed milk will
enter the cup first, followed by the silky foam.
A cappuccino is ⅓ Espresso, ⅓ Steamed Milk ⅓ Foamed milk.
Caffé Latte
Espresso with steamed milk . Poured carefully to ensure a 1cm
head of foam. A caffé latte is a little more subtle in coffee
strength than a cappuccino due to the higher proportion of
steamed vs. foamed milk.
Americano
Fill a cup with ⅔ hot water and add an espresso into the
cup. This guarantees the full flavour of the coffee. Add
cold milk if desired. NB. Never pour boiling water on to
Espresso us this will burn it and create a bitter taste.
Caffe Mocha
Espresso, mixed with chocolate powder or chocolate syrup,
topped with hot steamed milk.
