Coffeeor How I was disapointed to learn how to make it |
|
I've never been that big of a fan of coffee (at least compared to my wife) so I only recently began to drink something beside the percolated stuff that cost you a dollar. It might not come as that big a surpise then if I say that I had always assumed that the different type of coffees required some sort of special preparation and/or different sort of beans.
Oh how I was wrong....
Taken from a barista (coffee maker) training DVD, here are different type of coffees and how they are made:
| Note : | Demi-tasse | A small cup containing about half a cup | |
| Foam | Milk that had been heated and aerated by pumping hot steam through it. | ||
| Froth | The more aerated milk found at the top of a pitcher of milk that has been foamed | ||
| shot | about 30 ml | ||
| Tasse | A cup |
| Type | Preparation |
|---|---|
| Cappuccino | One shot of espresso in a tasse to which is added froth to fill it. It is left a few seconds to settle then foam is added. |
| Doppio | Two shot of espresso in a small glass cup. Doppio is italian for "double". |
| Espresso/Short Black | One shot of espresso in a demitasse. |
| Flat White/Cafe au Lait | One shot of espresso in a tasse to which warm milk is added. dolop of froth. decorate with twirl of crema. |
| Latte | espresso + milk/foam in glass (thumbler). decorate with dolop of froth in middle shapped like clover. |
| Short Macchiato | espresso + dollop of milk+ 2-3 teaspoon of froth in demitasse. leaf like lines decoration |
| Long Black | 2 shot of espresso + 60ml hot water in a cup. (hot water first) |
| Long Macchiato | long black + dollop of milk + 2-3 tablespoon of froth in cup. decorated with leaf-like lines. |
