ESPRESSO MENU

Our definitive guide to espresso-based drinks, as approved by our roasters.

RISTRETTO

1:1 ratio - we recommend 19-20g in, 19-20g out.

Extraction time should be about 30 seconds. This creates thick body and a high acidity that’ll be balanced out by the milk to create a beautifully smooth cup.

ESPRESSO

1:2 ratio - we recommend 18 grams in, 36 grams out.

Extraction time should be between 25 and 30 seconds. A quicker extraction will create a more acidic and fruitier cup, slower will be more chocolatey.

LONG BLACK

Fill a 6oz cup with 3/4 hot water, then pour a espresso
on top.

MACCHIATO

Ristretto in an espresso cup or piccolo glass (4oz) with a dash of frothy milk on top. Try not to mix your ristretto and milk – definition in the layers is important.

For the milk, steam for 21-22 seconds until frothy. It should be warm, but not hot to the touch.

PICCOLO

Ristretto in a 4oz piccolo glass, blended with lightly textured milk.

For the milk, steam for 20 seconds until creamy. It should be warm, but not hot to the touch.

FLAT WHITE

Ristretto in a 6oz cup, blended with lightly textured milk.

For the milk, steam for 20 seconds until creamy. It should be warm, but not hot to the touch.

CAPPUCCINO

Espresso in an 8oz cup, chocolate powder on top of shot, blended with frothy milk.

For the milk, steam for 21-22 seconds until frothy. It should be warm, but not hot to the touch.

LATTE

Espresso in a 10oz glass, blended with lightly textured milk.

For the milk, steam for 20 seconds until creamy. It should be warm, but not hot to the touch.
