Espresso

Solo – The Italian Diva among coffees made by forcing high-pressure steam through ground coffee beans. Result? Thick coffee texture with a delicious crema on top.

Lungo – Made with a shot of espresso with double the amount of water. It can also be considered similar to Americano but with a more refined taste.

Ristretto – A type of a so-called “short” espresso. It is made just like a regular espresso but using half the amount of water.

Doppio – Meaning “double” in Italian is a simple double espresso shot.

Shakerato – A popular summertime Italian drink made by shaking an espresso with brown sugar and ice cubes.

Espresso Macchiato – An espresso coffee drink with a small amount of milk, usually foamed. In Italian, macchiato means “stained” or “spotted”, so the literal translation of caffè macchiato is “stained coffee” or “marked coffee”.

Espresso Con Panna – A single shot of espresso served in an espresso cup topped with whipped cream.

Affogato – Enjoy two scoops of vanilla ice cream with a double shot of espresso poured over the top.

Espresso with Milk & Cream

Caffe Americano – Do you prefer a bit lighter texture of espresso – voilà! Americano is a weaker espresso with a more substantial amount of water, served in a big coffee cup.

Latte Macchiato – The name is Italian for “stained milk” or “marked milk”, referring to the way the drink is prepared by pouring a shot of espresso into steamed milk. It is a play on espresso macchiato, an older drink consisting of espresso marked with a dollop or two of milk or cream.

Caffe Latte – Enjoy a coffee where the milk takes over the stage, dominating over the taste of espresso. We could say it’s a form of Cappuccino with more milk.

Cappuccino – Famous coffee with even more iconic crema contains 1/3 of espresso and the same measure of foamed milk and steamed milk.

Caffe Marocchino – An Italian beverage made by layering cocoa powder, espresso, and milk foam. Its flavor is reminiscent of other drinks that use similar ingredients, such as the mocha.

Caffe Mocha – A full-bodied espresso combined with bittersweet mocha sauce and steamed milk, then topped with sweetened whipped cream.
