Espresso Tonic

Swap out gin for espresso for a
carbonated drink that is both refreshing
and buzzy. You can experiment with
flavored simple syrups and garnishes to
mix it up!
Makes 1 serving
2 espresso capsules
(preferably medium-light roast)
1 teaspoon simple syrup
(optional or to taste)
1 to 2 dashes aromatic bitters
(such as Angostura)
5 ounces tonic water
Orange or lemon twist for
garnish
1. Put 1 espresso capsule into the unit.
Place a small glass or mug underneath
the brew head. Select Single Espresso
and brew into the small mug. When
brewing process is complete, discard
used capsule and place a new capsule
into the unit. Select Single Espresso
and brew into same mug. Let cool to
room temperature.
2. Fill a highball glass with ice. Add the
simple syrup (if using), bitters, and
tonic water and stir. Gently pour in the
cooled espresso. Drop an orange or
lemon twist into the glass to garnish.
3. Serve immediately.
Café con Leche
Start your morning off right with this
traditional Spanish-style espresso drink.
Makes 1 serving
2 espresso capsules
¹⁄ ³ cup whole milk
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
(optional or to taste)
1. Put 1 espresso capsule into the unit.
Place a small mug underneath the brew
head. Reserve.
2. Put the milk into a separate heatproof
mug. Hold the mug in one hand and
place under the steam wand so the
bottom of the wand is just below the
surface of the milk at an angle. Select
the Steam function and press the
START/STOP knob to start steaming.
While holding the mug at an angle,
allow the steam to move the milk
around. Once the milk begins to
increase in volume, lift the mug up
higher so the steam wand immerses
deeper into the milk (this will prevent
large bubbles from forming and
will make a nice fine milk foam). When
the foam has almost reached the top
of the mug and you can feel that the
milk in the mug is quite hot, press the
START/STOP knob to stop steaming.
Tap the mug a few times to remove any
larger bubbles.
3. Select Single Espresso and brew into
the small mug. When brewing process
is complete, discard used capsule and
place a new capsule into the unit.
Select Single Espresso and brew.
4. Slowly pour the steamed milk, holding
back the foam, into the mug with the
espresso. Sweeten to taste.
5. Serve immediately.

Matcha Latte

Matcha powder can be purchased either
sweetened or not. Be sure to look at the
ingredient list to see which type you are
purchasing. If it is sweetened, you most
likely will not want to add the honey.
Makes 1 serving
1½ teaspoons matcha powder, sifted
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon honey (optional or
to taste)
1 cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
1. Put the matcha powder and water in a
glass that's at least 12 ounces in
capacity. Whisk or stir well with a fork
or small whisk until smooth (if using
honey, stir into the matcha mixture at
this time). Reserve.
