Creating gourmet espresso based beverages at home is extremely simple once you learn the basic recipes.
Follow the drink preparation notes below and use them as a guide to create your own specialty drinks.
Drink Name Preparation
Espresso
1-1.5 ounce shot of coffee brewed at high pressure in 20-25 seconds. Espresso is the
basis for many gourmet coffee specialty drinks.
Ristretto
0.5-0.7 ounce shot of coffee brewed at high pressure in less than 20 seconds. The
ristretto has a very intense flavor that is bolder with more body than a traditional
espresso.
Lungo
2-4 ounce shot of coffee brewed at high pressure for 45-60 seconds. The lungo has
more of a bitter taste than espresso as more water is extracting the coffee’s flavor.
Macchiato A shot of espresso topped with a spoonful of frothed milk served in a demitasse cup.
Espresso con Panna A shot of espresso topped with whipped cream in a demitasse cup.
Espresso Affogato A scoop of gelato or ice cream “drowned” in a shot of espresso.

milk. Pour a shot of espresso on top of the foam to “mark” the latte. Add caramel sauce
to the top if desired.
