Espresso recipes ESPRESSO (SHORT BLACK) MACCHIATO 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. 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’.
Espresso recipes continued CAFFE LATTE CAFFE MOCHA An espresso with steamed milk, typically served in a glass. The layer of frothed milk on top should be 10mm to seal the coffee. • 220mL glass or cup Made in a similar way to a cappuccino but with the addition of drinking chocolate. Simply stir the chocolate into the espresso prior to adding the steamed milk and froth.
Care and cleaning The coffee making process involves extracting oils out of coffee grinds to make espresso coffee. Deposits of these oils build up over time and affect the taste of the coffee and operation of the espresso machine. Group head rubber seal The group head seal is located on the underside of the group head and creates a seal against the filter handle during the espresso pour.
Care and cleaning continued for about 5 minutes and you will find that after this time the dry/caramelised milk will easily wipe away. Repeat process if still dirty.
