Recipes
You can enjoy your espresso just as you like
it : when you want to relax, or to round off a
good meal.
Here are a few recipes for your espresso
machine.
. Original espresso
• Take one small measure of good quality, well
roasted espresso coffee and filter it directly
into the preheated cup.
If you use good, well ground coffee, a nice
crown of foam should appear on the cup.
• Add sugar if you wish, and treat yourself.
Original espresso is drunk without milk, but
lots of sugar.
. Espresso corretto
• Prepare a cup of espresso in the usual way.
• Then slightly « correct » the taste by adding
1/4 or 1/2 a glass of cognac or liqueur.
Anisette, grape brandy, Sambuco, kirsch and
Cointreau are also suitable.
And there are many more possibilities for «
ennobling » your espresso. Let your imagina-
tion run wild.
. Cappuccino
• Use large cups which you have preheated.
• Fill them with coffee up to the equivalent of
an espresso cup, and top up with milk which
you have frothed using the cappuccino
accessory ; finally, sprinkle powdered
chocolate on top.
To froth the milk: put 200 ml of skimmed or
semi-skimmed milk into a jug, and make it
foamy by plunging the steam nozzle into the
jug.
. Iced coffee Italian style
4 balls of vanilla ice cream, 2 cold sugared
cups of espresso, 1/8 litre of milk, fresh cream,
grated chocolate.
• Mix the cold espresso with milk. Distribute
the ice cream balls between the glasses,
pour coffee over and decorate with fresh
cream and grated chocolate.
. Friesian style coffee
• Add a small glass of rum to a cup of sugared
espresso.
• Decorate with a thick layer of fresh cream
and serve.
. Espresso flambé
2 small glasses of cognac,
2 teaspoons of brown sugar,
2 cups espresso, fresh cream.
• Pour the cognac into heat-resistant glasses,
heat and flame it.
• Add sugar, mix, pour in the coffee and
decorate with fresh cream.
If you wish, the espresso can also be diluted
with a little boiling water.
