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
Granita di caffè, comprising a layer of whipped cream as a base covered with frozen crushed
espresso and then topped with another layer of whipped cream. Sounds delicious – and tastes
delicious too!!!
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).
