A GLOSSARY OF ESPRESSO DRINKS

Americano

6 to 8 ounces of hot water added to a single shot of espresso. This makes a superb cup of coffee.

Café Latte

8 to 10 ounces of steamed milk added to a single shot of espresso. Lattes are often flavored with 1 to 2 ounces of syrup.

Café Mocha

A café latte with several ounces 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 6 to 7 ounce 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.

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 3⁄4 oz. using the small filter basket or 1.5 oz. using the large basket.
