ESPRESSO DRINKS
OF
Espresso Con Panna
Espresso topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
Espresso Lungo
Espresso "pulled long" – that is, brewed with a greater than normal
shot volume. This technique produces caffeine-heavy espresso which is
thinner, lighter-colored, and less full-bodied than normal. To make
espresso lungo, brew 1.5 oz. using the small filter basket, or 3 oz.
using the large filter basket. Use a slightly coarser grind to keep the
brewing time between 20–25 seconds; extending the brewing time
beyond 30 seconds will make the espresso lungo excessively bitter.
Espresso lungo is often used to make stronger-tasting Americanos
or lattes.
Espresso Macchiato
Espresso with a dab of steamed milk added to the top.
Espresso Ristretto
An espresso "pulled short" – that is, brewed with less than normal
shot volume to maximize flavor and minimize bitterness. For
ristretto, simply brew about 3 ⁄ oz. using the small filter basket or
4
1.5 oz. using the large basket.
