Espresso Terms
Espresso
Espresso is made when the heart of the coffee flavor is extracted
under pressure. A single serving or “shot” is 1 to 1 1/2 ounces.
This serves as the basis for other types of coffee drinks.
Latte
Make a serving of espresso and add 2-3 ounces of steamed
milk.
Cappuccino
Make a serving of espresso, add 1 ounce of steamed milk then
top with 1 ounce of frothed milk.
Macchiato
Make a serving of espresso and top with 1 to 2 tablespoons of
frothed milk.
Mocha
Dissolve 1 tablespoon of cocoa or chocolate in 1 ounce of
frothed milk and stir into one serving of espresso.
Americano
This espresso drink is similar in taste to American drip coffee.
Dilute a serving of hot espresso with hot water to preserve the
espresso flavor. It does not mean over-extraction of espresso.
Latteccino
This drink combines the consistency of a latte and a cappuccino.
It is a frothier latte or a milkier cappuccino.
Flavored Espresso
Add 1 teaspoon of flavored coffee syrup such as Irish Cream,
French Vanilla or Hazelnut to a serving of espresso and adjust to
taste.
