Once you’ve chosen your espresso machine and got used to using it, you’ll want to be able to make coffee for your friends and guests. Here are some coffee essentials to cover most occasions:
Espresso or short black. 30 ml coffee in a small cup.
Long black 30 ml coffee and half a cup of hot water, in a cup. My favourite.
Latte 1/3 coffee, 2/3 milk and a little foam in a glass with a napkin around it.
Flat white 1/3 coffee, 2/3 milk and a little foam in a cup.
Cappuccino 1/3 coffee, 2/3 milk and a lot of foam in a cup, with chocolate on top.
Macchiato Espresso or short black with foam.
Piccolo Latte Espresso with milk and foam in a small glass.
Mocha 30 ml coffee with hot chocolate in a tall glass.
Vienna long black with whipped cream and chocolate on top.
Iced coffee scoop ice cream, 1/3 cold coffee, 2/3 cold milk, whipped cream and chocolate in a tall glass.
When you’re ready to get really fancy, you can make pictures in the foam on top of your coffee like leaves, flowers, tear drops and hearts. You can even get them to separate out into layers, which looks impressive if you’re serving coffee in a glass.
