Description
A ristretto, served in a small cup, is an espresso whose brewing time is
shorter than a regular espresso. As such, a ristretto is a shot shorter and
lower in caffeine.
Espresso is known around the globe as the real Italian coffee. Served in a
small cup, its unmistakeable features are a full and intense aroma and a
top layer of compact, natural "crema". It is the result of the pressurized hot
water extraction process invented by Achille Gaggia in 1938.
Espresso lungo is an espresso with a longer extraction time. It is more
diluted, with a different aromatic intensity and a higher caffeine content. It
is served in a medium-sized cup.
Coffee is a beverage prepared with more water than espresso. It has a
lighter aroma and is served in a medium-large cup.
Americano is a less intense long coffee, prepared with an espresso to
which hot water is added.
Cappuccino is an Italian classic, among the most loved in the world. It is
made with espresso, milk and a milk foam, which must be no less than 1
cm thick. It is served in a large cup.
Latte macchiato is made with hot milk, one part of milk foam and a small
quantity of espresso.
It is served in a tall, transparent glass to allow the separation of the three
different layers to be seen.
Café au lait is a beverage made with equal parts of coffee and milk. It can
even be enriched by a thin layer of milk foam. Served in a large cup.
Cortado is an Argentinian beverage, consisting of an espresso shot with a
small quantity of milk.
It is usually served in a small glass and is popular in Spain, Portugal and
Latin America.
A flat white is a beverage of Australian origin which has a strong, dominant
coffee flavour. It is composed of a double espresso and milk, toped with a
light layer of velvety foam.
Frothed milk is used to prepare cappuccinos, latte macchiatos and
different other beverages. The result is a compact, homogeneous layer of
milk foam.
