Glossary of espresso drinks

Americano
177 to 237 ml of hot water added to a single
shot of espresso. This makes a superb cup
of coffee�
Café Latte
237 to 296 ml of steamed milk added to
a single shot of espresso� Lattes are often
flavored with 30 to 59 ml of syrup.
Café Mocha
A Café Latte with 59 to 100 ml of chocolate
syrup added, and usually topped with
whipped cream and chocolate flakes. It
can also be prepared without syrup using
steamed chocolate milk�
Cappuccino
A standard Cappuccino is a combination
of steamed milk and espresso that's
capped with a layer of frothed milk; it's
usually served in a bowl-shaped cup of
177 to 237 ml volume� Powdered cocoa or
cinnamon may be sprinkled on top
as a garnish�
Classic Cappuccino
Classic Cappuccino is common in Italy, and is
simply espresso topped with frothed milk�
Doppio
A double shot of espresso.
Espresso Breve
Espresso with steamed half & half poured
on top�
22
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 44 ml using the small
filter basket, or 89 ml 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 22 ml using the small filter basket or
44 ml using the large basket.
