Espresso

Espresso, simply called "caffè" by Italians, is the basis for all of the other Italian coffee specialities. The "black & strong" beverage fills up around two-thirds of an espresso cup, 40 ml in terms of figures. What is typical for a good espresso is the cream, which should be hazelnut brown in colour, marbled with just a touch of red on the top. The crema is the crown on an espresso. However, it can only be produced if the pump has a certain power output to create pressure in the machine; this is why cheap machines are seldom able to produce crema. Espresso should have a full flavour and taste slightly bitter and aromatic. Espresso will need to be stored at fairly cool temperatures if this is to be achieved. Using freshly-ground beans is best of all. It is also important to portion the coffee just right and ground espresso must be of a good quality. Enjoyment will be enhanced even more if a glass of fresh water is served with an espresso. And a little biscuit is perfect too!

Espresso sorbetto

Espresso sorbetto is a refreshing and at the same time low-calory beverage, suitable as a dessert or simply as an in-between! Freeze 350 ml espresso and stirr the espresso ice cubes in a mixer with four sugar cubes and 500 ml low-fat milk. Serve well-chilled in suitable glasses.

Iced Espresso

Enjoying a glass of ice-cold espresso or cappuccino on hot summer afternoons or balmy nights is a unique experience. Experts also cover the glass with a damp serviette before serving iced espresso.

Granita di caffè

whipped cream as a base covered with frozen crushed layer of whipped cream. Sounds delicious – and tastes

Latte macchiato

"Latte macchiato" could mean “breakfast“ in Italian, since for Italians it is the “early morning” version of Italian coffee enjoyment. Hot foamy milk is put into a tall glass with a little hot milk. Espresso or ristretto is then slowly and very carefully poured on top so that the milk foam takes on a marmored appearance (also a real pleasure to look at).

Ristretto

Ristretto is small, black, strong and effective – a concentrated espresso (two-thirds of the “normal” quantity of water).
