The heart of every caffè nero coffee drink & one of the hardest to get right. A single espresso consists of 7 grams of coffee, tamped just right. The espresso should pour out of the handle like'honey off a spoon' -not too fast & not too slow. When our baristas train in making espresso they time their pour. The perfect espresso will have a good golden brown'crema' which reforms when stirred.
Espresso Ristretto
A big hit w/ the espresso aficionados. A shorter extraction of our distinctively rich secret blend, made w/ less water for a shorter, stronger & more intense espresso. An acquired taste.
Espresso Macchiato
A single shot of our rich dark espresso topped w/ a touch of milk & finished w/ an island of foam.
Espresso Con Panna
Two shots of our deliciously strong espresso, topped off w/ a swirl of whipped cream.
Cappuccino
The classic italian morning tradition. Our unique blend of espresso combined w/ steamed velvety milk & sealed w/ a frothy dome. And yes you can have a light dusting of chocolate powder which provides an optional finishing touch although most italians would refrain!
Caffe Latte
The all day classic. A strong base of our rich & tasty espresso, blended w/ plenty of steamed milk & finished w/ a layer of milk froth, creates a wonderful flavour.
Americano
Originally created by american G.I.S who found the traditional italian espresso a little too strong for their tastes. The americano features two or more shots of our rich blend of espresso, diluted w/ an equal amount of hot water. You should still see the'crema' (although lighter) indicating that the espresso was correctly made.
