Espresso

The classic Italian coffee, short and black with a very intense
aroma and aftertaste. Made with freshly ground coffee for a

brewed quantity of 30ml. A perfect espresso always has a

5mm hazelnut crema.

Espresso Ristretto – 20ml , Espresso Lungo – 40 ml

Espresso Macchiato

Meaning ‘marked’ or ‘stained’ in Italian, macchiato is an

espresso with a dash of frothed milk.

Cappuccino

The most popular espresso based drink. Espresso topped

with perfectly steamed and foamed milk. Milk should be

frothed to 60°C with a texture of fine dense bubbles.

As you pour you create a slight dome. Steamed milk will

enter the cup first, followed by the silky foam.

A cappuccino is ⅓ Espresso, ⅓ Steamed Milk ⅓ Foamed milk.

Caffé Latte

Espresso with steamed milk . Poured carefully to ensure a 1cm

head of foam. A caffé latte is a little more subtle in coffee

strength than a cappuccino due to the higher proportion of

steamed vs. foamed milk.

Americano

Fill a cup with ⅔ hot water and add an espresso into the

cup. This guarantees the full flavour of the coffee. Add

cold milk if desired. NB. Never pour boiling water on to

Espresso us this will burn it and create a bitter taste.

Caffe Mocha

Espresso, mixed with chocolate powder or chocolate syrup,

topped with hot steamed milk.
