Types of coffee

The Main Coffees......

Espresso

  • Ristretto - (or short shot) Meaning restricted, this is a shot that is stopped at ¾ of an ounce. This restricted extraction ensures that only the best qualities of the coffee are extracted and not the bitter elements. This is the preferred straight shot in Europe.
  • The Single - Basically a shot extracted to 1 ounce.
  • The Lungo - (or long shot) a shot extracted to 1.5 ounces.
  • The Double - A 2 ounce shot using twice as much coffee in the portafilter.

The Americano:
A shot of espresso and fill the rest of the 6 to 8 ounce cup with hot water. This makes a smooth cup of coffee similar to drip brewed.

The Espresso Macchiato:
Macchiato means "marked" in Italian. Therefore this drink is a shot of espresso marked with a small amount of foamed milk dabbed on top with a spoon and served in a demitasse.

Espresso Con Panna:
Con Panna means "with cream" so basically this drink is the same as a Macchiato except using a dab of whipped cream instead of foamed milk.

Cappuccino:
Made with velvety, wet foam that mixes with the pour instead of a large bubbled meringue floating on top of the espresso. It's a shot of espresso with steamed milk poured in without holding back the foam (like in a latte).

The Caffe Latte:
Start with a single shot of espresso for a 6 to 8 ounce drink. Pour in steamed milk, but hold back the foam with your spoon until about 70% to 75% full. Then top it off with foam.

For a larger latte (12 to 16 ounces) use a double shot to maintain the coffee flavor.
