Espresso Coffee Tea

Our espresso drinks are hand crafted by one of our specially trained baristi. Each espresso shot is extracted using a ristretto pull. A ristretto is a shot stopped slightly shorter than a traditional pull in order to remove the sour and astringent elements of the extraction. To compensate for this our espresso machines are equipped with a tripleCappuccino Photo filter basket which allows the water to pass through 30% more espresso. The result is a noticeably richer, sweeter shot, thick carmel-like crema, and a full bodied texture.


Espresso


A single or double ristretto shot prepared by hand from one of our talented baristi.

Macchiato


In Italian, macchiato refers to a ‘smear’ or ‘mark.’ In keeping with this tradition, our macchiato is prepared with a shot of espresso ‘marked’ with a dollop of foamed milk.

Con Panna


A single shot of espresso finished with a dollop of whip cream

Americana


Coffee’s evil twin, a shot of espresso combined with purified water.
