Espresso yourself correctly · 21 April 05
I don’t care what Tims, Fourbucks or The Sev tells you…
Espresso – A form of coffee made by drawing steam through ground coffee under pressure.
Cappuccino – A stiff draught of espresso served in a normal sized cup, with steamed milk rapidly swirled on top and perhaps a small dollop of white foam in the center.
Machiatto – A shot of espresso with just a dab of steamed or foamed milk on top.
Crema – The thick, rich foam that sits on top of a freshly pulled shot of espresso.
Americano – An espresso beverage made with one shot of espresso into a cup of hot water.
Latte – A beverage made with a shot of espresso in a cup of steamed milk. Overall ratio is 1/3 espresso, 2/3 steamed milk.
Ristretto – A short espresso pull. The amount of espresso is smaller than a usual shot but it is more concentrated and some consider the flavour to be better.
Lungo – A long espresso pull, usually 25-30 seconds. You get a bit more espresso, but it tends to be more bitter.
Doppio – A drink made with 2 shots espresso, and 1 shot hot water.
Barista – Technically, someone who has been professionally trained in the art of espresso preparation. The term is often used simply to describe someone who excels at espresso making, regardless of their training.
cappucino=1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 foam. thats all.
if i just start calling myself a police officer, can i use justifiable force against those who defy this natural law of coffee?
