Espresso The espresso is the heart of every coffee drink and one of the hardest to get right. A single espresso consists of 7 grams of coffee tamped just right (harder than a double shot) in a single handle. The espresso should pour out of the handle like honey off a spoon – not too fast and not too slow. When baristas train in making espresso they time their espresso pour. The cup must be warmed beforehand. The perfect espresso will have a good hazelnut brown crema on top which reforms if stirred and lasts at least one minute. We always teach our baristas “No crema, no serva!”
ESPRESSO RISTRETTO
This is an espresso at heart but the water flow is turned off before a full espresso has flowed. This results in a very short, intense espresso. An acquired taste. E S P R E S S O M A C H I AT O
This is an espresso with a dollop of milk foam on top. AMERICANO
Basically a single espresso topped up with hot water. However, you should still see the crema indicating that the espresso was correctly made. C A F F È L AT T E
A single espresso topped up with steamed milk and a small amount of milk foam to seal the drink. CAPPUCCINO
A long espresso (1/3 of a cappuccino cup) made with hot milk (1/3) and milk foam (1/3). We train our barista to create a dome of foam. Steaming milk is quite an art. You will still see the ‘crema’ around the rim of the cup. MOCHA
This is identical to the caffé latte but we add two heaped teaspoons of chocolate syrup to the coffee before adding milk to the blend. C O F F E E VA N I L L A

Cold Coffee Drinks
