Espresso recipes
ESPRESSO (SHORT BLACK)
Espresso is a concentrated, full bodied coffee
with a stable layer of cream on top – known
as ‘crema’. An espresso is the foundation of
all café coffee. Variations are achieved by
adding different amounts of milk and froth.
• 90mL espresso glass or demitasse cup
• single espresso (30-35mL)
LONG BLACK
A standard espresso with hot water, served in
a regular coffee cup or mug. The hot water is
added first so that the ‘crema’ is maintained.
• 190mL cup
• hot water (to taste)
• single or double espresso
MACCHIATO
Macchiato, Italian for ‘to stain or mark’.
Traditionally served as a standard espresso
with a dash of milk and a small dollop of
froth into the middle of the ‘crema’.
• 90mL espresso glass or demitasse cup
• single or double espresso
• marked with steamed milk froth
FLAT WHITE
Another old favourite, the Flat White is
an espresso with steamed milk, served in
a regular coffee cup or mug. The layer of
frothed milk on top should be 2mm to seal
the coffee.
• 190mL cup
• single or double espresso
• steamed milk
