Espresso...
Traditionally this is a single 1oz shot of coffee made with 7g of finely ground coffee extracted at between 18 and 25 seconds. The espresso shot forms the basic ingredient for many well known coffee recipes: - |
|
Americano...
An espresso shot diluted to taste with hot water. |
|
Romano...
Espresso shot served with a twist of lemon. |
|
Corretto...
Espresso shot with grappa [grape-based pomace brandy]. |
|
Doppio...
A double shot of espresso. |
|
Lungo...
An espresso which is made by extracting about 1.5oz of water through 7g of coffee. The texture is thinner but it contains a greater amount of caffeine. |
|
Ristretto...
A more concentrated espresso, normally of only about 0.75oz, made by restricting the extraction time. This maximises the flavour of the coffee and minimises the caffeine. |
|
Iced Espresso...
A double shot of espresso over crushed ice. |
|
Cafe Latte...
Much milkier than a cappuccino. One part espresso with at least five parts steamed (hot) milk and only a small amount of froth on top. |
|
Cafe Latte Fredo...
Espresso mixed with cold milk in the same proportions as a Cafe Latte shaken vigorously with ice in a cocktail shaker. |
|
Cafe Mocha...
One part espresso with one part chocolate syrup and two or three parts of frothed milk, optionally topped with whipped cream. |
|
Espresso con Panna...
One shot of espresso topped with a small amount of whipped cream. |
|
Espresso Granita...
One shot of espresso mixed with a teaspoon of soft brown sugar and a splash of brandy, frozen, then crushed and served in a parfait glass with whipped cream |
